Adding a well tested, well formed kbd patch. This one should be
suitable for upload to Natty.
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: kbd
The Linux virtual terminals support 16 colors, which are configurable in:
- /sys/module/vt/parameters/default_{red,grn,blu}
+ /sys/module/vt/parameters/default_{red,grn,blu}
A well formed color map, cmap, can be dynamically set using the ioctl:
- ioctl(/dev/tty0, PIO_CMAP, cmap)
+ ioctl(/dev/tty0, PIO_CMAP, cmap)
It would be very Ubuntu of us to provide a program in /sbin/setvtrgb
that dynamically modifies these colors. Furthermore, we should provide
a better default color palette than the standard vga one, allow admins
to configure it, and apply it at boot.
+
+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+ Order of uploads:
+ 1) kbd -- establish the setvtrgb utility, get it in the builds, is able to
set the original vga colors, but requires a text file input palette
+
+ 2) Wait for Marcus/Ivanka to supply a suitable color palette
+
+ 3)
+ a) console-setup -- add the conffile for the color palette, and the
upstart job that calls setvtrgb it at boot
+ b) rootskel -- call setvtrgb at install boot
+ c) bogl -- fix the hardcoded color palette used by d
+
+ 4)
+ a) newt -- change the default newt palette to use magenta where we
previously used blue
+ b) cdebconf -- change the default palette to use magenta where we
previously used blue
