.Sh SYNOPSIS
|

.Cd amidisplaycc0 at mainbus0

|
.Cd wsdisplay0 at amidisplaycc0
|
|
.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.
|
|
A display mode defines the following things: height and width
|
|
in pixels, number of colors, and the size of the font.
|
|
The predefined modes are listed below.
|
|
.Bl -bullet -offset indent -compact

Fonts of width 8 are supported. Fonts can be compiled into the kernel
|
|
by specifying "options FONT_[fontname]" in the configuration file,
|
|
or loaded with the
|
|
.Xr wsfontload 8
|
|
utility runtime.
