Display using Linux virtual console text device
Name
display-vcsa : Display using Linux virtual console text device
Synopsis
display-vcsa : [ [-noinput] | [ [-nokbd] [-nomouse] ] ] [-shade]
[-ascii] [-physz=<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]] [<vcsa device>]
Description
Uses the Linux /dev/vcsa* devices to render text modes onto the
console.
Options
- -nokbd
- Do not open any libraries for keyboard input.
- -nomouse
- Do not open any libraries for mouse input.
- -noinput
- Same as both -nokbd and -nomouse.
- -shade
- The -shade option turns on shading mode, which changes the
color mapping so that it chooses characters which emulate a
shading effect. This makes a big improvement if using (some might
say abusing :) the vcsa target for graphical purposes.
- -ascii
- The -ascii option limits the color mapping to only using ASCII
characters. The default mode uses IBM special characters (the
solid block mainly, and others when using -shade).
- -physz=<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]
This option will provide a physical screen size for applications
which wish to remain resolution independent. :p:`sizex`,
:p:`sizey` are the x,y size of the screen in millimeters, unless
the optional dpi string is affixed, in which case, they
represent resolution in dots-per-inch.
