Hi, Would it be possible to have Firefox OS running in one VT, then switch over to another VT and run a framebuffer console?
On my ThinkPad I run Debian with a framebuffer console, using tmux as a textmode "window manager" along with various CLI and ncurses applications like zsh, Vim, vifm, Mutt, ELinks, MPlayer, MPD, ncmpcpp, MOC, etc. Mostly what I use the X Window System for is to run a lightweight window manager containing a full-screen instance of Firefox. This works out quite well for most of my needs (except when using SolidWorks, which requires MSwin anyways...), and makes for a nice system capable of running on limited resources. I'd like to replicate this setup on a low-power, low-cost, lightweight ARM machine. Being able to switch between a capable multiplexed text console and a graphical web-browser in this way could IMO make for a nice, inexpensive development machine. Something like a One Laptop Per Child for coders and power users. I haven't played around with Firefox OS outside of an emulator, so I don't know if this makes sense or what's possible...any suggestions or clues much appreciated!
