.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm scon
|
|
utility controls several aspects of the runtime behaviour of the pcvt vt220
|
|
driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Returns a string describing the video adaptor found by pcvt, the string
|
|
returned could be MDA, HGC, CGA, EGA, VGA or UNKNOWN.
|
|
.It Fl c
|
|
Specify the screen number the current (displayed) screen should be switched
|
|
to.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Specify the device filename (i.e. /dev/ttyv2) further operations specified on
|
|
the command line should be applied to.
|
|
.It Fl f
|
|
Some programs which silently assume 24 lines when they run on a VT220 show
|
|
incorrent behaviour when the terminal has really 25 lines. To support full
|
|
VT220 behaviour, it is possible to force pcvt to select only 24 lines when
|
|
it is running in 25-lines pure VT mode and/or in 28-lines HP-mode. The
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option requires one additional parameter, the string 'on' or 'off' to switch
|
|
this mode for a virtual screen on or off respectively. This mode has no effect
|
|
if any other vertical resolutions are selected than the two above mentioned.
|
|
.It Fl h
|
|
Prints a usage/help text.
|
|
.It Fl l
|
|
Lists the current configuration of runtime changable options and fixed
|
|
parameters (such as the type of the adaptor, and in case of a VGA adaptor,
|
|
the Manufacturer, Chipset and 132 column support) of the output portion
|
|
of the pcvt driver.
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Returns a string describing the connected display monitor type found by pcvt,
|
|
the string returned can be MONO, COLOR or UNKNOWN.
|
|
.It Fl v
|
|
Specify verbose operation of the program.
|
|
.It Fl V
|
|
Switch the specified/current screen into a pure VT220 mode without recognizing
|
|
any HP escape sequences and without displaying function key labels.
|
|
.It Fl H
|
|
Switch the specified/current screen into a mixed HP/VT220 mode. That is, that
|
|
in addition to the full VT220 emulation, the HP function key labels and the
|
|
escape sequences for handling the labels are available to the user.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Specify the number of character lines on the screen. Possible parameters are
|
|
25, 28, 35, 40, 43 or 50. To use all this screen sizes, the fonts required
|
|
for proper operation of a desired size have to be downloaded to the EGA/VGA
|
|
font ram. This option is available only for EGA and VGA boards.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Modify VGA palette
|
|
.Pq DAC .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
is mutually exclusive with
|
|
.Fl s ,
|
|
.Fl H ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl V .
|
|
Naturally, option
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
is available only for VGA boards. Three flavors are available.
|
|
|
|
If used with argument
|
|
.Dq Ar default ,
|
|
this flag will restore the default palette
|
|
.Po
|
|
as installed by VGA ROM BIOS after hardware reset
|
|
.Pc .
|
|
|
|
If used with argument
|
|
.Dq Ar list ,
|
|
the current VGA DAC palette entries are listed. Each entry contains
|
|
the table index, values for red, green, and blue, and if there's a
|
|
known name for this entry, the color name. Trailing empty table
|
|
slots (RGB values all zero) are omitted.
|
|
|
|
Otherwise, four comma-separated arguments are expected. The first
|
|
denotes the number of palette entry to be modified. This may be either
|
|
a number between 0 and 255, or the usual name of an associated color
|
|
.Pq case-insensitive .
|
|
The following values for red, green and blue are restricted to 0 through 63
|
|
due to VGA DAC conventions.
|
|
Note that the first delimiter within such an argument may be a colon
|
|
.Dq \&:
|
|
instead of a comma
|
|
.Dq \&,
|
|
for better readability, but this violates common command argument
|
|
conventions.
|
|
Multiple
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
options may be specified if unambiguous.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Specifying
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
will activate the screen saver. The behaviour depends on
|
|
.Ar timeout :
|
|
if
|
|
.Ar timeout
|
|
is given as 0, the screen saver is turned off. Otherwise,
|
|
.Ar timeout
|
|
is taken as a number of seconds to wait until activating the
|
|
screen saver.
|
|
NOTE: the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option is only available if screen saver support has been compiled into
|
|
the driver !
|
|
.It Fl 1
|
|
Sets 132 columns mode
|
|
.Pq only available on VGA adaptors .
|
|
.It Fl 8
|
|
Sets 80 columns mode.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When switching between HP and VT mode, when switching the force 24 lines
|
|
mode on and off, or when switching between 80 and 132 columns operation,
|
|
the screen is cleared, the scrolling
|
|
region is reset and the cursor is placed in the home position.
|
|
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The command
|
|
.Dq Li scon Fl H s Ar 28
|
|
places the current screen into HP mode and sets the screen size to 28x80.
|
|
|
|
Invoking
|
|
.Do
|
|
.Li scon Fl p
|
|
.Ar lightgray,0,15,0
|
|
.Fl p
|
|
.Ar 0:45,45,45
|
|
.Dc
|
|
will result in green on gray output for normal text.
|
|
Note that normal text color is light gray, and not white as one might expect.
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
the
|
|
.Fl c
|
|
and
|
|
.Fl d
|
|
options collide somehow, this will change in a future release.
