Remove the console driver? #30

Open ndim opened 2 years ago

ndim commented 2 years ago

Eventually, we should remove the console driver.

The console API is a pain permission-wise, uses completely unrelated filenames which you need to guess and try first.

Contrast that with the evdev API, where you have one device with a well-known name, and you can easily set its permissions using udev rules.

issue #6 might be a reason to delay this.

OTOH, we could get rid of a bit of code.
