Well done, dude !
I had never tried Conholio until today, and it is an absolute good software: unpack, run it, it just works :-)

I have also noticed the Alt+F1, F2... feature for virtual consoles, it just works as expected.

Even the TERM variable is automatically set to "linux", we don't have to mess with any configuration step.

I don't know if you are aware of this, but the ncurses tests are vary good candidates for testing a terminal implementation. I have recompiled them for MiNT today:

They are just small independant MiNT programs, you just have to unpack the archive and run them from Conholio. I have seen some visual artifacts, but most of them behave very well :-)
The visual rendering should be compared to the same programs on Linux.

Long life to Conholio !
