Please let me know if this is the wrong place to ask my question, and, if so,
where a better place might be. Thanks.

I'm the maintainer of the BRLTTY project [http://mielke.cc/brltty/]. BRLTTY
operates braille displays for blind users. We're trying to make it as
functional on Solaris as possible.

One of the things that BRLTTY can do, assuming that the host operating system
provides the capability, is passively monitor the content of a text-mode screen
and present it on the user's braille display. Does Solaris provide a mechanism
for inspecting the content of the screen? If not, is there a way, perhaps using
something like /dev/kmem, to locate a memory-resident copy of what's currently
on the screen?
