thanks a lot Alex. this makes a lot of sense. so i need to beef up my driver console with TEM support. any ideas where i could find source code example for implementing these ioctls: VIS_CONSDISPLAY, VIS_CONSCOPY,VIS_CONSCURSOR and the like? all i could find was the vgatext driver in text mode, but it doesnt apply to my case where the screen is in graphic mode. thx -- Best regards, _______________________________________ jean-francois simon - themis computer 5, rue irene joliot curie 38320 eybens - france +33 (0)4 76 14 77 85 - www.themis.com _______________________________________________ driver-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/driver-discuss
