+This release of 4.3BSD-tahoe contains kernel display drivers for
+Digital Equipment Corp's QDSS and QVSS display hardware. The code
+is made available by the Ultrix Engineering Group. The X11R2
+distribution contains server code for both QDSS and QVSS, and the
+X10R4 distribution contains server binaries for QVSS. In addition,
+the Ultrix UWS 1.1 X10R4 qdss server binary apparently works under
+4.3BSD-tahoe. The kernel display drivers have been tested using
+both X11R2 and X10R4 servers.
+
+To include qvss or qdss support in the kernel include one of the
+following lines in your config file:
+
+ device qd0 at uba0 csr 0177400 flags 0x0f vector qddint qdaint qdiint
+ device qv0 at uba0 csr 0177200 vector qvkint qvvint
+
+In /dev make the appropriate special file:
+
+ mknod qd0 c 41 2 # for QDSS
+ mknod mouse c 40 2 # for QVSS
+
+Here is an example entry of /etc/ttys for starting the window system
+automatically (it assumes you have renamed a pty/tty pair as ptyv0
+and ttyv0):
+
+ ttyv0 "/usr/bin/X11/xterm -L -C -bw 3 -fn 9x15 -rv
+ -geometry 80x24+150+250 -display :0" xterm on secure
+ window="/usr/bin/X11/Xqdss -c -co /usr/lib/X11/rgb"
+
+Although the hardware supports multiple QDSS's per machine, the
+current qdss driver has only been tested using one.
+
+Standalone qdss and qvss drivers are present in /boot. If there
+is a failure initializing the display, the boot program reverts to the
+real microvax console port.
+
+Cursor motion has been added to the qdss glass tty driver so full
+screen editors will work when the window system isn't running. To
+take advantage of this feature set the terminal type to "qdcons"
+when running in the glass tty. The termcap entry for qdcons is:
+
+ qd|qdss|qdcons|qdss glass tty:\
+ :am:do=^J:le=^H:bs:cm=\E=%.%.:cl=1^Z:co#128:li#57::nd=^L:up=^K:
+
+The qdss glass tty driver isn't perfect, and in fact operates at
+a high ipl which degrades performance if a lot of output is sent
+to it. It is recommended that all console output be directed to
+a window when the window system is active. 4.3BSD-tahoe supports the
+TIOCCONS ioctl which can make any tty the target for console output.
+The "-C" flag to xterm should invoke this ioctl, or one can write
+a small program doing essentially:
+
+ int on = 1;
+
+ ioctl(0, TIOCCONS, &on);
+
+A short discussion on console devices is in order. There are
+effectively three possible notions of a console on a workstation.
+The first is the real hardware device known as the console port on
+the machine. The second is the effective console, which is where
+the special file "/dev/console" does its I/O. In the presence of
+display hardware, one wants the effective console to be the display
+device, not the real console port. Once the CPU has detected the
+presence of display hardware it automatically uses the display for
+console command dialogue and diagnostics. However, once the system
+software starts running it's up to the software to detect the
+presence of display hardware and re-channel console I/O there.
+Ultrix and 4.3BSD-tahoe do this differently. Under Ultrix, the
+display drivers replace cdevsw[0] with the glass tty display
+routines, and all references to /dev/console actually call the
+display routines directly. 4.3BSD-tahoe leaves cdevsw[0] alone
+and instead has a global pointer called "consops" which points to
+the cdevsw entry of the currently active console device. The
+standard console routines check if consops is set and if so re-channel
+I/O there. This is acceptable until the window system starts
+running, after which time any output to the glass tty display causes
+the screen to become a mess, and thus the third notion of a console:
+where one really wants output to appear. The goal is to direct
+console output away from the glass tty when the window system is
+running, but restore it when it isn't. 4.3BSD-tahoe accomplishes
+this by having another pointer called "constty" which points to a
+tty for console output. Any tty (like an xterm window) can be made
+the target of console output by using the TIOCCONS ioctl described
+earlier. Given that all console I/O of one form or another has
+effectively been directed away from the real console port, the next
+obvious question is how to access the real hardware console port.
+The 4.3BSD-tahoe console routines only redirect console I/O if the
+minor device number is zero, thus, making another console device
+with minor device number one will suffice. E.g.
+
+ mknod /dev/altcons c 0 1
+
