It may bee asked yet, but anyway..
I've build a graphics application, and the Problem ist that every time the
kernel sends a message (ex. FD(0): NO SPACE,... etc.) to the console my
graphics are destroyed. How can I prevent the kernel form sending messages
direct to the console?
Does it perhaps linking /dev/console to /dev/null ? (not the good way) Or
is there a simple way.
Next Question:
My Doc states that there is a special memory-mapped keyboard mode (especially
for X-Windows). Has anybody out there used it allready ? If so, please send me
some example code. Can I use this mode for a seriell driven mouse too ? Or is
there another way to get a signal from the kernal whenever a mouse-event
arrives (currently I'm using poll(2) and nonblocking reads, but thats too
slow!).

Do what most of the Xwindow servers do: Switch to one of the VTs and do your graphics there. Console error messages will not appear on a VT. -- Conor P.
