Wexelblat) writes: There WAS a task force that was going to try to resolve all of this for us - to come up with a single common API for the console driver. But your bloody egos couldn't even accomplish that much - one subset of ioctl()s on one device. Note that there wasn't even one NetBSD member on the "task force" (a mailing list managed by Julian, if I remember.) I had opinions, but never expressed them (except to say that NetBSD supports the excellent work Hellmuth has done with pcvt, which will very soon have the same X ioctl()'s that syscons has.) You must be talking about someone else's ego here, not Chris's or Charles, or mine.
