Well, Andy has been busy again :-)
I think the port mapping functionality you described will be quite
useful, but I'm slightly concerned about having the keyboard driver
built into part of the console driver. Mightn't it be better to have
downloadable keymaps, and use a special escape sequence to toggle
betwen virtual screens. (ie. if the user presses ALT+SHIFT+F10, the
escape sequence "ESC [ VC 10" might be generated)? This would be more
flexible I think.
I have been planning to rewrite the keyboard driver to handle
downloadable maps for some time, and I have quite a lot of the design
work done. Shall I code it up?
