[ros-kernel] Texmode consoles.

[Waldo Alvarez]

Hello ppl:

I was thinking a bit ago about both good and bad sides of text mode 
consoles and I concluded that it is incorrect.

Good:
 Very small performance incrementation vs staing in graphics 
mode all the time.

Bad:
 How is unicode text going to be printed in text mode consoles. I beleive 
 it is imposible.

 Video mode switching stresses the video hardware, specially monitors.

 You can't use very good looking bootup screens. And normal users love 
 them. Well you could do a double video mode switching and that's bad.

 Having a dual kind of consoles will only cause confusion, to both users 
and developers.

 Entering graphics mode when CreateWindowXXX is called is simply the wrong 
way.

 
I beleive text mode consoles had their time in ReactOS and that is time to 
dump them.

Comments??
