hi,
Where should I change to increase the UNIX98 pty number beyond 2048? The
maximum allowed in xconfig is 2048.
Is there any reason that this number can't go beyond 2048? Thanks,
hui

Yes, dev_t is too small.
You could hack the kernel to locally allocate additional major
numbers, preferrably in the 240-255 range, if you need it.
