.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
2001-04-11 22:33:06 +04:00
|
|
|
This device acts as an adapter between the
|
2001-02-03 00:54:49 +03:00
|
|
|
.Xr wscons 4
|
|
|
|
|
framework and the Amiga custom chip driver functions.
|
|
|
|
|
It exports the internal
|
|
|
|
|
.Xr wsdisplay 4
|
|
|
|
|
interface and contains the necessary rendering functions to
|
|
|
|
|
operate a text terminal with virtual screens. It uses the
|
2001-04-11 22:33:06 +04:00
|
|
|
Amiga abstract graphic driver functions for the low-level
|
2001-02-03 00:54:49 +03:00
|
|
|
display management.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
Currently it does not support running X. You can still run
|
|
|
|
|
X the old way, but be warned, you cannot switch screens while
|
|
|
|
|
in X and when quitting it, it seems to hang. Switching a screen
|
|
|
|
|
then will bring up the text console. As always, we apologise for
|
2001-06-14 03:38:29 +04:00
|
|
|
the inconvenience.
|
2001-02-03 00:54:49 +03:00
|

.Pp
|
2001-04-11 22:33:06 +04:00
|
|
|
What it does support is hilite (bold), underline, reverse and
|
2001-02-03 00:54:49 +03:00
|
|
|
foreground/background colors.
|
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
|
The number of virtual screens is limited only by
|
2002-03-14 00:44:48 +03:00
|
|
|
the available chip memory.
|
2002-03-13 22:46:01 +03:00
|
|
|
Each virtual screen can have a different display mode.
|
|
|
|
|
A display mode defines the following things: height and width
|
2002-03-14 00:44:48 +03:00
|
|
|
in pixels, number of colors, and the size of the font.
|
2002-03-13 22:46:01 +03:00
|
|
|
The predefined modes are listed below.
