This is done in order to properly support virtualization (with
Logical Domains).
So when there is a frame buffer, the system checks if it has a
terminal emulator, if not then it switches to the virtual console
which is accessed using hypervisor calls.
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?
Sorry, I don't know where you can find examples.
alex.
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
