Hi, I'm trying to display 256 colors on my vga console but didn't reach to display more than 16 colors. I'm using this perl script for my test: http://www.robmeerman.co.uk/_media/unix/256colors2.pl I'm using -current (r253755) with the default xterm for all ttyv. I've tried different vidcontrol mode (MODE_280, MODE 279, MODE_261) but still 16 colors for each try. The splash screen and the screen saver (rain_saver.ko) are able to display more than 16 colors on my laptop but why not the console ? Thanks, Olivier
