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,
