Well I run in 80x24 text mode almost all the time, and when I need some graphics/web stuff I hit the KVM and move to an XP machine. I use vidcontrol to set my screen /home/bv/.profile:vidcontrol green black /home/bv/.profile:vidcontrol -b blue /home/bv/.profile:vidcontrol -c blink That gives me green on black, with a blue border defining the edge of the screen. With my vision it works very well. I got to something with white on black and I find it too bright to use, except on dying monitors :-) [I've had some clients with really bad server monitors - typically SCO. On those I'd set the white to bright white to make them readable] Bill -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
