Hi,

I'm thinking of messing with the syscons ioctl handler to allow setting
of color values - all EGA- and VGA-compatible video controllers allow this.
The idea is to later define my termcap(5) entry to let ncurses deal with
color setting.

termcap(5) lists the 'cc' - 'can change color' and 'Ic' - 'initialize color'
capabilities.  Setting the boolean 'cc' is easy, 'Ic' however presents a bit
of a problem to me - does anyone know what it is set to on any other terms
so I can keep a bit of compatibility here, or do I just randomly pick an esc
sequence, and lead on a happy existence until someone else defines this same
esc sequence to do something else? :)

G'luck,
Peter
