Right. And we can start working on this right now, even before KGI is ported to GNU/Hurd. By using the GGI library we can start now and we will get KGI support by doing that as soon as it is ported. I wrote a task description. Is is ok to put this task on savannah? "The GGI library is a graphics library that has many targets like X Window, text, KGI, etc. There should be a GGI driver for the plugin so the console client will work on all those targets. When KGI is available for GNU/Hurd this console client driver will become the default. For more informations about GGI: http://www.ggi-project.org/ This feature were discussed on the bug-hurd mailing list, Read this to see why KGI is important: http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2004-04/msg00016.html http://mail.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-hurd/2004-04/msg00017.html"; This will give us graphics support only. There is another library, GII, for input support (keyboard and mouse). At the moment I am working on a driver for the console client so it can load XKB keymaps, hopefully I can easily change it to use GII.
