Moving the Linux Kernel Console To User-Space

Posted by Soulskill on from the cuddly-console-seeks-loving-home dept.

jones_supa sends this quote from Phoronix: "David Herrmann has provided an update on his ambitious initiative to kill off the Linux kernel console. Herrmann has long been working on making the Linux kernel CONFIG_VT option unnecessary for providing a Linux console by punting it off to user-space. The Linux kernel VT console hasn't been changed much in the past two decades and Herrmann is hoping to see it replaced with a user-space solution he's been developing that would allow for multi-seat support, a hardware-accelerated console, full internalization, and other features."

    your neighbor's mother sucks my cock. But the decimal is in the wrong place -- it's actually $7.40 per hour. Same price as your mom.
