display-vcsa(7)			      GGI		       display-vcsa(7)

NAME
       display-vcsa : Display using Linux virtual console text device

SYNOPSIS
       display-vcsa : [ [-noinput] | [ [-nokbd] [-nomouse] ] ] [-ascii]
			[-physz=<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]] [-shade] [<vcsa device>]

DESCRIPTION
       Uses  the  Linux	 /dev/vcsa* devices to render text modes onto the con‐
       sole.

OPTIONS
       -nokbd Do not open any libraries for keyboard input.

       -nomouse
	      Do not open any libraries for mouse input.

       -noinput
	      Same as both -nokbd and -nomouse.

       -ascii The -ascii option limits the color mapping to only  using	 ASCII
	      characters.   The	 default mode uses IBM special characters (the
	      solid block mainly, and others when using -shade).

       -shade The -shade option turns on shading mode, which changes the color
	      mapping  so  that	 it chooses characters which emulate a shading
	      effect.  This makes a big improvement if using (some  might  say
	      abusing :) the vcsa target for graphical purposes.

       -physz=<sizex>,<sizey>[dpi]
	      This option will provide a physical screen size for applications
	      which wish to remain resolution independent.  sizex,  sizey  are
	      the  x,y	size of the screen in millimeters, unless the optional
	      dpi string is affixed, in which case, they represent  resolution
	      in dots-per-inch.

       vcsa device
	      The  filename  of the device file, defaulting to /dev/vcsa which
	      draws on the current virtual console.

FEATURES
       ·   No DirectBuffer support.

       ·   Unaccelerated.
