Is the same the Marcus console and the Hurd console?
Yes.
Since nobody of the "old" timers seems capable of actually describing
how to use the "new" console, I'll describe it here. A tip for these
"old" timers, when describng something new to a user, also provide
information on how to use "the thing", or where to get information on
how to use "the thing".
To start the new console do the following:
console -d vga -d pc_kbd -d generic_speaker /dev/vcs
And voila, you have the new console, I'm assuming that Debian has a
correct /etc/ttys file, and that /dev/vcs and friends have been
created.
If those files are not uptodate then you will have todo the following
(you can check if they are uptodate by checking if the following lines
exist in /etc/ttys). In /etc/ttys add the following lines:
tty1 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console
tty2 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console
tty3 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console
tty4 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console
tty5 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console
tty6 "/libexec/getty 38400" hurd on secure trusted console
In /dev, create the following devices:
./MAKEDEV vcs tty1 tty2 tty3 tty4 tty5 tty6
and then do the following to install the correct terminal description:
wget
"http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/*checkout*/hurd/hurd/console/hurd.ti"
tic -x hurd.ti
Now you should be able to run the new console with the coammnd that
was noted in the begining of this mail.
Cheers.
