Ugh, don't even mention that. We could take the linux driver to put
normal sound on a PC Speaker, and use the Festival program to produce
speech. We could have it verbally announce the crash

I don't think the kernel ever ought to compete. In Linux, even if you run
X on tty1 (vt1) I don't think the conso

Well, if the kernel doesn't know gfx hardware (whic

I guess the natural solution is to have the kernel send
Hi,
when we use a true user space console which accesses the gva graphic card at
the hardware level (I/O ports, mapped memory), we will face some interesting
races with the kernel. I am not so worried about the normal operation
(setting cursor etc) although it would be neat to avoid races there,
