Yes, but normally GEM-apps don't write to console extensively. This is
only possible under MiNT and toswin. I guess you can set your console to
raw-mode, but I cannot find it atm (I used tcsetpgrp or similar, but I'm
not sure if it really would work).

Maybe I increased the select-timeout in the XaAES-loop, so the RAW-mode
is set less frequently, I dont know. I'll look if there has anything
else changed.

There should be a fix to set all XaAES-clients' tty into raw
automatically. But this might have side-effects and has to be done right.


It may be worth a try to test this with a real old XaAES (maybe the one
from afros from 2008).
