Maximum is defined as 63, you can edit /usr/src/linux/drivers/char and one of
the filles in there I believe.

Color on the console?  You mean color ls?  Get the color ls patch for the GNU
Fileutiles.

1. svgalib & virtual consoles & X

It used to that virtual consoles didn't work with X.
Then one day I saw the following comment on COL.misc:

Well, I tried this from a server, and indeed c-a-F1 got me
to a virtual tty console, but no combination of keys would get me
back to the windowmanager/xserver.

So, please, what's the magic incantation.

Then suppose that does work, will running svgalib from and
alternative VT mess up the original X servers image?

2. Announcing mod-0.1

3. XDM makes my other virtual consoles have strange colors

4. Epson 860 weirdness

5. #9GXE64pro and 16 and 24 bit color = no Virtual Consoles

6. Different Redhat 3.0.3 CD releases

7. Virtual Console loses its color

8. Transpose data from horizontal to vertical

9. No colors with virtual consoles: Why?

10. Wscons - do virtual consoles support bg/fg color assignments?

11. colors on virtual consoles (ie tty[1-9])

12. Virtual Console Colors
