It is worth investigating! In a long dead ago project, the input,
events, and displays were all integrated into the vty and mux'd from
there. The kernel provides evdev devices now, and there is a library,
tho I do not know how to get vt(4) to integrate with evdev, or if the
library is the way to do it? Any other ideas?
