OK, that works - sort of. nano-X attaches to the current virtual
terminal 1-6 when started from that terminal. All seems to work at this
point.
If you start it from a serial terminal nano-X gets confused and tries to
grab the keyboard from the serial terminal. If you try to start it with
init by adding an entry to rc2.d and init.d it starts but immediately
quits. There is no entry in any of the logs that I can find that might
be a clue as to why.
It would be nice for nano-X to use tty7 just as X does. Is there a
method to force this behavior?
