.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
This device acts as an adapter between the
|
|
.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
|
|
Amiga abstract graphic driver functions for the low-level
|
|
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
|
|
the inconvenience.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
What it does support is hilite (bold), underline, reverse and
|
|
foreground/background colors.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The number of virtual screens is limited only by
|
|
the available chip memory. Each virtual screen can have a
|
|
different display mode. The available display modes are listed
|
|
below. Other modes can easily be added to the kernel. The default
|
|
mode is 640x400x1.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
640x200x1, 640x200x2, 640x200x3, 640x200x4,
|
|
.Pp
|
|
640x400x1, 640x400x2, 640x400x3, 640x400x4,
|
|
.Pp
|
|
640x480x1, 640x480x2, 640x480x3, 640x480x4,
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Palette is the default palette compiled in the kernel, and currently
|
|
cannot be changed runtime.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Also, the font is the 8x8 font compiled into the kernel, and cannot
|
|
be changed runtime.
