Re: wsconst changing forground/background colors

[RVP <rvp%SDF.ORG@localhost>]

Try the patch below to get "dim" colours throughout. Had to
modify the kernel because a) there's no rasops_put_cmap()
and b) ioctl(WSDISPLAYIO_PUTCMAP) only seems to work for
256-colour displays.

Change colours to suit...
