    If it can run in user space, then thats fine with me. But I
    would guess the pseudo framebuffer device itself (without the
    networking, authentication and encryption stuff) has to
    reside in the kernel.

    It is very important to me to get access to the VNC console
    very early in the boot procedure, e.g. if there is a fsck
    asking for help, or if a badly configured root device drops
    me on busybox.

    For qemu/kvm hosts (and others) it is very convenient to
    access the console via VNC. For "real" hosts I am restricted
    to SOL or some remote management hardware module providing
    a web interface.

    It would be very nice to get an improvement here.


    Regards

    Harri
