I don't think we have a way to do that unless you can make a serial "keyboard" device in the input layer. The VT layer will only get its input from such a thing, maybe that does exist in the depth of legacy code in there but it has nothing to do with your device-tree. > > Right now getty spawns the login on the serial port via /etc/inittab. > > Something similiar is probably needed for the framebuffer. > > getty appears to work only with serial devices, since it insists on a baud rate > as one of the parameters. No, or no existing distro would work :-) Just fake a baudrate for the tty's Cheers, Ben. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
