Description: Simple terminal emulator based on Kernel Mode Setting
kmscon is a system console for Linux. It does not depend on any
graphics-server on your system (like X.org), but instead provides
a raw console layer that can be used independently.
It can replace the Linux kernel console entirely but was designed to
work well side-by-side, too.
Even though initially targeted at providing internationalization to
the system-console, it has grown into a fully modularized console
layer including features like multi-head support, internationalized
font rendering, XKB-compatible keyboard handling,
hardware-accelerated graphics access and more.
