>Description:

You can (ignoring raspops.c bugs for the moment) specify kernel and userland
text colors used by wsdisplay. I used

 WS_DEFAULT_BG=WSCOL_WHITE

to get a white background. I get a gray background. I've been told the white
I'm looking for is bright white, but there is no way to define that in a
kernel config file as default.

Stupid i386 people broke wsdisplay but added blinking border colors ;-)

I just want a nice Sun style console, real white, with black text.
