I use sysutils/jfbterm on my laptop which doesn't work with X
(hardware issue) anymore to overcome this problem.

Hi folks!

I was initiating the work on syscons driver some time ago, then was too busy
and my part of the work stalled for about a year. At present I am going to
continue working on this.

One of my students, Vladislav Soldatov, is willing to continue working on
syscons and fonts with me. I have a branch in Perforce, with mapping from
unicode to 8-bit fonts implemented.

Whom should I contact for:

1) Grant permissions for Vladislav to access the Perforce branch?
2) Discuss the state and the future of the work. I'd like to ensure that we
are not doing the same things as other engineers and everybody is aware of
changes?
