Message-ID: <6BAD6986DF8FD211AB8300A0C931D85514E030@mail.neruo.com> (raw)


Most of us still have a need to know the last (previous) active console.
Maybe change info->currcon to info->lastcon?  Or does the API already give
us the info we need?

I apologize in advance for not looking into this myself.

That is not the only thing broken for multihead support. The softback code
is severly broken. Also why don't we use the display_fg field in fb_info
instead. display_fg->vc_num is already their is it's more multihead
friendly. IMO real multihead support shoudl wait until 2.5.X since it
needs a pretty big cleanup.
