Is there some fallback very raw mechanism in case that "console" fails to load (at least to be able to say "failed to load console server" (I think "server" is the used terminology in the Hurd)? Yes, that is what I think it should be: real text handling done trough a user space program. A very raw support on the kernel only for the cases (that we all hope never arrive) when something goes very wrong, and the program handling text display can't be loaded (or crash). -- Ki �a vos v�ye b�n, Pablo Saratxaga http://chanae.walon.org/pablo/ PGP Key available, key ID: 0xD9B85466 [you can write me in Walloon, Spanish, French, English, Catalan or Esperanto] [min povas skribi en valona, esperanta, angla aux latinidaj lingvoj]
