Whoa, whoa. There's other things that use the VT system, like /dev/hvc0 and /dev/ttyS0 and stuff Can't just throw the baby out with the bathwater there, there's a LOT of systems running xen that get daily use, and a lot of servers that use IPMI serial over lan redirection. -- [ Graham Cantin ] | (408) 890-7463 - Google Voice FindME "You're arrogant for thinking you can, ignorant for thinking you cannot."
