Why do we need patches in the kernel. Just set you config to CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE, CONFIG_FB, CONFIG_INPUT and don't set fbcon or vgacon. Then have a userspace app using /dev/fb and /dev/input create a userland console. There is no need to do special hacks in the kernel. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
