Anybody have experience setting up a video console for uClinux on the MicroBlaze?

I have a small OLED display that I'd like to set up as a video console while still using the normal serial console for i/o. I have a simple driver in place and the CONFIG options for Unix98 PTYs and devpts turned on. "ptmx" is created in the /dev directory and /dev/pts is soft-linked to a directory with (rw) ramfs-mounted access.

However, when I try to send some text to the display, the console can't be created:

$echo foo > /dev/tty1
/dev/tty1: cannot create

Any ideas or pointers?

Thanks.

Steve
