Message-ID: <20070821212939.GD3658@interface.famille.thibault.fr>
Date: Tue, 21 Aug 2007 23:29:39 +0200
From: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@...-lyon.org>
To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, akpm@...ux-foundation.org
Subject: [PATCH] Console events and accessibility
Some external modules like Speakup need to monitor console output.
This adds a VT notifier that such modules can use to get console output events:
allocation, deallocation, writes, other updates (cursor position, switch, etc.)
Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@...-lyon.org>
---
This is the second hook for Speakup. I've already set symbols exported
to GPL only.
