## Path: Hardware/Console ## Description: Text console settings (see also Hardware/Keyboard) ## Type: string ## Default: "" ## ServiceRestart: kbd # # Console settings. # Note: The KBD_TTY setting from Hardware/Keyboard (sysconfig/keyboard) # also applies for the settings here. # # Load this console font on bootup: # (/usr/share/kbd/consolefonts/) # CONSOLE_FONT="lat9w-16.psfu" ## Type: string ## Default: "" # # Some fonts come without a unicode map. # (.psfu fonts supposedly have it, others often not.) # You can then specify the unicode mapping of your font # explicitly. (/usr/share/kbd/unimaps/) # Normally not needed. # CONSOLE_UNICODEMAP="" ## Type: string ## Default: "" # # Most programs output 8 bit characters, so you need a table to # translate those characters into unicode. That one can be specified # here. (/usr/share/kbd/consoletrans/) # (Note: If your console is in utf-8 mode you don't need this.) # If your code does not use a unicode mapping at all (because you # e.g. explicitly specified UNICODEMAP="none") you may circumvent # the translation via unicode, but load a map which directly maps # 8 bit output of your program to a font position. # CONSOLE_SCREENMAP="trivial" ## Type: string ## Default: "" # # for some fonts the console has to be initialized with CONSOLE_MAGIC. # CONSOLE_MAGIC can be empty or have the values "(B", ")B", "(K" or ")K". # Normally not needed (automatically handled by setfont). # CONSOLE_MAGIC="(K" ## Path: System/Console/Framebuffer ## Description: Framebuffer configuration ## Type: string ## Default: "" # # You may want to load a framebuffer display driver into your kernel # in order to be able to change graphics modes etc. with fbset in # console mode. # # Notes: Most people won't enter anything here, as: # * it won't work if you have vesafb already active # * its advantageous to have fb support compiled into your kernel # * Some XFree86 drivers (especially in XFree86-4.x) don't work # too well, if you enable framebuffer text mode. # # Example: # FB_MODULES="matroxfb_base vesa=0x182 fv=85 matroxfb_maven matroxfb_crtc2" # FB_MODULES="" ## Type: string ## Default: "" # # In case your kernel has framebuffer support (or you loaded the framebuffer # support into your kernel as a module above), you may want to change the # resolution or other parameters. This is done by secifying the parameters # to fbset. Use a mode from /etc/fb-modes and additional parameters as # -a, -depth , -vyres , ... (See fbset manpage and/or fbset -h). # # Notes: # * vesafb does not (currently) support changing the display mode # * BEWARE! Don't set modes your monitor can't do. Watch out for the maximum # horizontal frequency. Old monitors might even be damaged if you exceed # their capabilities. # # Example: # FBSET_PARAMS="-a -depth 16 768x576-90 -vyres 10240" # FBSET_PARAMS="" # Encoding used for output of non-ascii characters. # CONSOLE_ENCODING=""
