The PDC-interface misses a function to get interrupts when a key was pressed.
To get around that problem you would need to poll the whole time, which would
result in a *very* bad performance.
Instead of using the PDC-console it is much better to get the STI console
working. I've already begun to rewrite the current STI code from prumpf,
which you can find under /drivers/video/sti/*.
Currently both - the new and the old STI code - is broken and unfunctional,
but I will continue to work on it as far as time permits.
Greetings,
Helge.
