Nachricht geschrieben von Bhishan Hemrajani >man vidcontrol< This does indeed work, I can set the foreground / background colors I like. 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 set (for example) the look of the cursor in that file, man rc.conf doesn't say 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", although this mode was listed as being supported. What could be the problem? Answers to this question are also welcome, although the first question about the colors is more important to me.
