next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Ok, as it was agreed I've integrated scrshot(1) into
vidcontrol(1) and also added ability to dump contents
of display buffer in plain text format, so you don't
even need a special utility to see what's going on
on a console of display-less machine. :-)
Please somebody review attached patches (esp. manpage).
Thank you!

+PC video memory is typically arranged in two byte tuples,
+one per character position. In each tuple, the first byte
+will be the character code, and the second byte is the
+character's color attribute.
+.Pp
+The color attribute byte is further broken down in to the
+low nibble, which specifies which of 16 different foreground
+colors is active, and the high nibble, which specifies which
+of 16 different background colors is active.
