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.
