So it has been well tested. I was hoping to have all the keyboard devices ported over to the input api and the fbdev drivers over to the new api. Unfortunely due to time restraints this will not be the case. So here goes the first installment of the new console system. Please test it yourselves and I will push it to Linus soon. The goal is to create a system we can use keyboards without the console system and the same true for framebuffer devices. This is most helpful on embedded devices. The other goals to make the VT console system more modular and lighter weight. The other goal is to make the VT tty system multi-desktop. Here are the changes so far: I) Removal of struct kbd_struct from the sysrq handler. Why drag itr along when only two sysrq functions actually use it. II) Massive rewrite and cleanup of keybaord.c. III) Place struct tty_struct into struct vc_data. This sets up a one to one relationship. Avoids the nasty tricks of playing with fields from console_driver. IV) Cleanup of VT tty/console initialization. A vty_init function to make it cleaner. diffstat: arch/i386/kernel/apm.c | 2 arch/ppc/xmon/start.c | 2 arch/ppc64/xmon/start.c | 2 drivers/acpi/system.c | 2 drivers/char/console.c | 82 ++-- drivers/char/keyboard.c | 779 +++++++++++++++++++++-------------------- drivers/char/sysrq.c | 46 +- drivers/char/tty_io.c | 15 include/linux/console_struct.h | 1 include/linux/sysrq.h | 13 11 files changed, 485 insertions(+), 459 deletions(-) The BK patch is at: http://linuxconsole.bkbits.net/dev diff: http://www.transvirtual.com/~jsimmons/console.diff.gz . --- |o_o | |:_/ | Give Micro$oft the Bird!!!! // \ \ Use Linux!!!!
