Virtual Console

Virtual Console Project

The virtual console project will provide virtual console feature to Solaris. This will improve user experience extremely, especially for developers and administrators.

Goal

  • Multiple consoles
  • Switch between Xserver and consoles

Status

Investigating

An initial basic prototype:

  • Users have multiple virtual consoles, switching between them by pressing "Alt + Fn".
  • /dev/console serves as the current active console, that is, any output via /dev/console will go to current active console.

To be investigated:

  • virtual cosole interfaces
  • the relationship between /dev/console and /dev/vtx
  • greenline services, and virtual consoles number configuration
  • device ownership and multiple users on console, and security/permission
  • tty and controlling tty with a process/session
  • milestones and single user
  • check SPARC console
  • switch between X and console
