What I mean was 'all of the above'. My projects aims to modernize
FreeBSDs console in a big picture. That whould range from "simple" vga
+ keyboard to a possible machine indepent framebuffer API.
The case, why I am considering porting wscons, is that in this way all
*BSD could benefit from this work.
If they would adopt changes is another question. ;)
Sorry, if that wasn't clear...
best regards,
Gordon
