I think this behavior was introduced in mainline,2166: allow compositor and console to coexist side-by-side, use the input server as a poor man's seat arbitrator * kernel console notifies both about the release and grab events * input server arbitrates the seat selection between kernel console and any number of user space UIs (currently the console server and the compositor server) * input port yield and reclaim methods have been removed (they are used only on Ski and Niagara, both already need a more generic mechanism for the kernel/user space cooperation) * console and compositor server keep track of the kernel console via the input arbitration * move the waiting for a character device from init and terminal widget to getterm Jakub _______________________________________________ HelenOS-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.modry.cz/listinfo/helenos-devel
