Nachricht geschrieben von Bhishan Hemrajani >man vidcontrol< This does indeed work, I can set the foreground / background colors I lik= e. But it seems that only the virtual console I'm currently working on uses the colors I set using vidcontrol. So how can I set my system up so that = at boot time ALL the virtual consoles use the background/foreground colors I= specify? I thought that I could use rc.conf, but while it's possible to s= et (for example) the look of the cursor in that file, man rc.conf doesn't sa= y anything about setting colors... Another question about vidcontrol: I tried to change my video mode (well,= I did only want to try it, I'm happy with the default...). I entered vidcontrol -i mode and I got a list of modes supported by my system. When= I entered (for example) vidcotrol 80x60 it said "Invalid argument", althoug= h this mode was listed as being supported. What could be the problem? Answe= rs to this question are also welcome, although the first question about the colors is more important to me.
