I don't know when [ ;-) ] but this would be a good thing (tm).

I think it would be possible for pcvt to detect this situation and take the
appropriate actions, i.e.:

	if(there is kernel type output for pcvt)
	{
		if(the current active window is an X screen)
		{
			switch kbd back from x to char mode;
			switch to char mode vt0;
		}
	}

There seems to be no need to switch back to X, or ... ?

On the other side this would blow up pcvt even more ....

Shouldn't this knowledge be put into ddb for every driver ???

Comments ?
