I'd like to ask the following question: Can the syscons driver be configured in a way that certain screen attributes are displayed in the same way? Read: It is possible to use the underline attribute in text mode?
For example, when I call "man man" in an xterm, the effect is this, black on white: SYNOPSIS man [-adfhkotw] [-m arch[:machine]] ^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^ bold font underlined It is the same when using grey on black color settings, like the text mode console does. On the "real" text mode console, the display is different, grey on black: SYNOPSIS man [-adfhkotw] [-m arch[:machine]] ^^^ ^^^^ ^^^^^^^ white (not grey) inverted Which file / setting does control how text is displayed when attributed with some "emphasize" (bold / invert / underline)? I think it has something to do with the capabilities of the attached "terminal driver", e. g. a terminal that can do underline uses underline if requested, one which can't uses invert instead. But how can I tell (e. g. through a C program, maybe using ncurses) that text should be underlined? Inverted is no problem (change color pair)... At least according to "man curs_attr", there are several attributes that can be set. I've made a simple testing program (attached, I hope) which does, when run in an xterm, exactly what is intended (almost): colors are chosen like at the text mode console (grey on black), and both bold and underlining do work, inverse too. Blinking doesn't. At the text mode console, blink works, inverse too, but underlining does not (no effect). Is there any possible way to get underlining in the "real" text mode? -- Polytropon >From Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
