+kmscon (KMS/DRM based System Console)
+
+kmscon is a system console for linux. It does not depend on any
+graphics-server on your system (like X.org), but instead provides a raw
+console layer that can be used independently. It can replace the linux
+kernel console entirely but was designed to work well side-by-side,
+too. Even though initially targeted at providing internationalization
+to the system-console, it has grown into a fully modularized console
+layer including features like multi-head support, internationalized
+font rendering, XKB-compatible keyboard handling, hardware-accelerated
+graphics access and more.
+
+For Slackware-specific notes on kmscon, see README.Slackware.

+Using kmscon as a regular user
+------------------------------
+
+As shipped, kmscon only works for root. If you want to be able to run
+it as a normal user, you could make it setuid root (not recommended). A
+better solution:
+
+setcap cap_sys_tty_config,cap_sys_admin=ep
+
+See capabilities(7) and http://www.slackbuilds.org/caps/ for more info
+on capabilities.
+
+When running as a normal user, you probably also want to add "--login
+-- /bin/bash -i" on the kmscon command line (or the equivalent, in
+/etc/kmscon/kmscon.conf).
+
+Using kmscon as a console replacement
+-------------------------------------
+
+kmscon has much better support for fonts and Unicode/UTF-8 than the
+Linux framebuffer console. If you want to use kmscon for all your
+console logins, edit /etc/inittab and replace the /sbin/agetty lines
+(around line 50 on Slack 14.1) with:
+
+c1:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty1
+c2:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty2
+c3:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty3
+c4:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty4
+c5:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty5
+c6:12345:respawn:/usr/bin/kmscon --vt /dev/tty6
+
+You might also want to edit /etc/kmscon/kmscon.conf and uncomment the
+line beginning with 'login=/sbin/agetty ...'.
+
+If you're in the habit of logging in as root, you'll want to edit
+/etc/securetty and uncomment the lines for pts/0 through pts/7. This
+is only needed for actual root logins (su and sudo will work fine
+without it).
+
+After making your edits, "init q" followed by "killall agetty" will fire
+up the new kmscon login prompts (alternatively, you can reboot).
+
+There's no need to use setcap if you're running kmscon from /etc/inittab,
+since it will always run as root.
+
+Misc
+----
+
+You'll almost certainly want to use a UTF-8 locale with kmscon. Normally
+this is set in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh (but you could also do it in your
+your ~/.bash_profile or such, if you like).
+
+When using kmscon, you'll have to use ctrl-alt-F# to switch consoles. Also
+try ctrl-plus and ctrl-minus (for zooming).
+
+You won't be able to run links in framebuffer mode (with "links -g
+-driver fb") from within a kmscon session.
+
+startx will work normally from kmscon.
+
+kmscon has *no* support for gpm, or the mouse in general. There's no way
+to select or paste text with the mouse, and no way to use the mouse in
+mouse-aware textmode applications like links.
+
+svgalib applications are highly unlikely to work from within kmscon.
+
+mplayer's framebuffer support (-vo fbdev or -vo fbdev2) doesn't work from
+within kmscon.
+
+Japanese man pages render beautifully with kmscon. Install man-db and
+man-pages-ja, and set LANG="ja_JP.UTF-8" in /etc/profile.d/lang.sh.
