I seem to have found the answer as soon as I sent off the message (why does this always happen???): man 4 vcs Sounds a LOT simpler than messing around with ttys and curses. 'Course someone is going to have to build a widget library from scratch that takes advantage of the vcsa device. Unless anyone knows of something that already uses this...? Is it just my imagination or does anything ESR gets his hands on always end up becoming a complicated piece of kludge (i.e. ncurses)? _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
