- spawn_login:
-
- A small utility by Andries Brouwer (aeb@cwi.nl) (the author of the
- VT_RESIZE kernel routine!), that can spawn login consoles by pressing
- "ALT-<up_arrow>". Putting
-
- spawn_login &
-
- in your /etc/rc.local enabled it when linux boots. This allows you to
- have only 2 VT's active at boot-up time (just an example), and create
- new ones on the fly. They are automatically removed when logging out
- from that console.
-
- The real advantage of this is that VT_RESIZE will not get an "out of
- memory" so soon, since there will not be that many ACTIVE VT's (all
- non-spawned VT's are not active, and do not need resizing, and thus
- don't require memory when resizing the screen).
-
- setcolor:
-
- is a simple test/demo I wrote, to be adapted later into a
- replacement for my current color-setting program. It speaks for
- itself.
-
- Note:
- It needs at least an 1.3.x kernel for the PIO_CMAP call. It will not
- compile, nor run on 1.2.13 or older kernels!
-

- using the /dev/vcsa[] devices.
