The upcoming colortext translator will implement keymap support itself, so the kernel will not be involved anymore. If you want to do some research on what is the status quo of keymaps in GNU/Linux, so we just need to support their format whatever it is and take the data from them, that would help the effort. Follow up with details on bug-hurd, please. Colortext is a userland pc console driver, which will receive scancodes from the kernel and translate them for term. It will also understand the video buffer, escape sequences etc. It will have keymap and font-loading support. If anybody knows something about loading fonts (and what is the status-quo of text mode fonts on GNU/Linux etc), let me know. That part is still missing, too, and we don't want to develop our own keymaps and fonts, but just rip them from GNU/Linux. Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
