I've been following this with some interest. You may be interested in the thoughts that I had on the matter almost three quarters of a decade ago.
http://homepage.ntlworld.com./jonathan.deboynepollard/Proposals/linux-console-daemon.html I have since implemented a console daemon of this ilk, but it wasn't for Linux. (-: It did employ a full Unicode BMP font and do all character rendering and keyboard mapping and processing outwith kernel mode, though. You're missing some interesting consequences, including: * kernel output not being rendered illegible * TIOCCONS obsolescence * accessibility for the visually impaired as an applications programming exercise * strong security partitioning with dedicated non-superuser accounts * no fixed mappings any more * application-mode vcsa(4) devices For those in detail and more, see the aforementioned WWW page. _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
