Something like that, yes.My understanding was that the plan is to have one DisplayState per image source. At that point the device doesn't care whether it's "active" or not (inactive DisplayStates will be the equivalent of /dev/null). If we still have a single DisplayState shared by multiple sources then is_graphics_console is not a sufficient check to tell whether the VGA device is active.I'm not sure that removing QEMUConsole without adding multiple DisplayStates is feasible.
I think this patch series is a big step in this direction. The is_graphics_console is an artifact. What we need to follow up this series with, is adding keyboard/mouse input to DisplayState, and pushing all the virtual terminal switching into TextConsole and cleaning TextConsole up to be a more clean virtual KVM.
If noone else takes this on, I'll add it to my queue. I think it's a follow up series though to this one.
