Yes they do. One thing I what to tell you is I have spoken to Vojetch and
he is one of the nice kernel developers I have meet. He is very willing to
listen. Also he really liked the idea of GGI console and that's why he
started the unified input code. Its like ggi console but watered down
enough so linus doesn't disapprove. As for it relationship to the console
code. Well he is afraid to touch it. He just wants to unify the input
devices. One nice thing is he also is working with the USB group to unify
their patches. I'm tring to work the console code around his patch as well
as mine. Hopefully we will get a sane console system then.
