The Newcons Project
Last year I gave a talk on the state of FreeBSD's console driver called syscons. Since then I've started working on a new console driver architecture for the kernel, which I'm hoping will be finished before FreeBSD 9.0.
This talk will describe how the new console driver is implemented and will highlight some of its key features, such as exclusive support for UTF-8 and reduced graphics I/O.
