I must be stupid, please point out my obvious error in the following:
I have a machine with wsdisplay and the following options:
options WSEMUL_SUN # sun terminal emulation
options WS_DEFAULT_FG=WSCOL_BLACK
options WS_DEFAULT_BG=WSCOL_WHITE
options WS_KERNEL_COLATTR=WSATTR_HILIT
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_USL # VT handling
options WSDISPLAY_COMPAT_RAWKBD # can get raw scancodes
options WSDISPLAY_DEFAULTSCREENS=4
options FONT_GALLANT12x22 # PROM font look-alike
I would have exepected this to generate
- white background
- black text
- kernel text the same, but bright (not dim)
but what I get is (suprisingly?) quite different:
- kernel text is dim gray on white background
- default text is white on black
(You might have guessed that I'm trying to emulate the look and feel of a
sun firmware console)
