SubjectVirtual Virtual TTYs.
Is there any way for software to be able to simulate being a second
keyboard which is attached to a specifyable virtual tty? I would like
to write some software which takes over, say, tty9, and becomes a
virtual terminal. I know that /dev/vcs9 and/or /dev/vcsa9 can be used
to gain knowledge of the screen content. The two things I do not know
how to do are:

1) How can the software enqueue input so that those characters will be
read from /dev/tty9?

2) How can the software know when the screen has been modified? This
would preferrably be interrupt driven, and would indicate the area
of the screen which has changed.

Thanks.
