NAME
display-vcsa - Display using Linux virtual console text device
SYNOPSIS
display-vcsa : [ [-noinput] | [ [-nokbd] [-nomouse] ] ] [-ascii]
[-physz=<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]] [-shade] [<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.
-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).
-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.
-physz=<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]
This option will provide a physical screen size for applications
which wish to remain resolution independent. sizex, 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.
vcsa device
The filename of the device file, defaulting to /dev/vcsa which
draws on the current virtual console.
