I doubt this code will go into 2.5.X but it is avaiable for anyone to play with it.Why? I don't want to live another release with the old, crappy console, and you've been working on this during almost all of 2.4 now..
Give my console diff a try. http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/console.diff.gz Its against 2.5.45. It has 3 bugs I know of. 1) Switch back to X messes up the screen. 2) I had to disable the beeper. I have to think of a proper solution to that problem with Vojtech. 3) Software suspend is broken because the console has moved from the global int currcons to private struct vc_data to represent a VC. BTW what was the author of that code trying to do any ways?
