wsconst changing forground/background colors



Hello,

I am trying to change the colors on the console. Here is what I did. I
have listed all the defined variables on wscons

% wsconsctl -d -a
type=generic-pci
scroll.fastlines=25
scroll.slowlines=2

Since there are no colors set, I wanted to set the colors on the
display using these but was not able to do that.

% wsconsctl -d -w msg.default.fg=4
wsconsctl: 4: not a valid color

% wsconsctl -d -w msg.default.fg=red
wsconsctl: WSDISPLAYIO_GMSGATTRS: Operation not supported by device

% wsconsctl -d -w msg.default.fg="red"
wsconsctl: WSDISPLAYIO_GMSGATTRS: Operation not supported by device

% wsconsctl -d -w msg.default.fg="#ffaabb"
wsconsctl: #ffaabb: not a valid color

How can I set the fg and the background colors on the console?

Best Regards,
Riza
