That is a wacky notion, but it might just make sense. Certainly using the xkb utilities from X directly is an attractive idea. Not only is the configuration based on a compatible format, it's actually the very same commands to do the configuration to a pseudo-X server that is a virtual console. I wouldn't want the console server talking to xfs the way the X server does, though. For loadfont, you still want a user program that gets font data from whereever (including from an xfs, or all manner of format conversions it might do) and loads the data into the console server. _______________________________________________ Bug-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-hurd
