: VTSWITCH involves a times but what role does it play in the overall system
(namely timer operation)? This is a confusing issue and I would appreciate
any help understanding it.
This shouldn't be confusing. VTSWITCH uses the timer mechanism to
set a timer. After getting a signal that the user wants the screen
switched, AND the timer expiring, the vtswitch code switches consoles.
Having said this, this might tie into the output-related timer/select
issue you brought up earlier.

Greg
