Re: [Xen-devel] /dev/tty1 and udev

["Mark A. Williamson" <mark.williamson@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've tweaked the console driver and it the Xen console now appears in sysfs.  
udev should "just work" for now.

For those that are interested, I had to add a call to tty_register_device() to 
make this work.  Other console drivers that support devfs don't need to do 
that, hence the apparent lack of sysfs magic in them.  It seems that for 
consoles (and who knows what else), stuff that's registered using devfs hooks 
also appears in sysfs(!).  In fact tty_register_device() seems to do some 
apparently devfs-related things(!!)

It does seem insane :-) but don't worry - it does *not* require devfs in the 
kernel and the tty *does* appear in sysfs(!!!).  Apparently the tty layer is 
currently bonkers.

I'd expect udev to be OK now - could you please try it out?

Cheers,
Mark
