I think those steps should be listed in "How to test" (starting with "sudo dnf install kmscon" and ending with "sudo ln -s [email protected] /etc/systemd/system/[email protected]"). > ==== Improvements ==== > * The look & feel of the VT console, will be much better. > * Users will be able to configure special fonts, and use more unicode > characters. > * Users will have the same keyboard layout has what they have in graphical > environment.

Somewhere else in the thread it was mentioned that "kmscon sets $TERM to xterm-256color"… Do I need a version from git to get this? When I switch between the kmscon console on tty3 and gnome-shell on tty1, gnome-shell exits. (Looking at the log, I don't see any obvious crash, but I see the login prompt again after switching back.) Is this a known issue? In Upgrade/compatibility impact, I think it should be mentioned that mouse support with gpm will stop working.
