9.Cd wsdisplay0 at amidisplaycc0
10.Sh DESCRIPTION
11This device acts as an adapter between the
12.Xr wscons 4
13framework and the Amiga custom chip driver functions.
14It exports the internal
15.Xr wsdisplay 4
16interface and contains the necessary rendering functions to
17operate a text terminal with virtual screens. It uses the
18Amiga abstract graphic driver functions for the low-level
19display management.
20.Pp
21Currently it does not support running X. You can still run
22X the old way, but be warned, you cannot switch screens while
23in X and when quitting it, it seems to hang. Switching a screen
24then will bring up the text console. As always, we apologise for
25the inconvenience.
26.Pp
27What it does support is hilite (bold), underline, reverse and
28foreground/background colors.
29.Pp
30The number of virtual screens is limited only by
31the available chip memory. Each virtual screen can have a
32different display mode. The available display modes are listed
33below. Other modes can easily be added to the kernel. The default
34mode is 640x400x1.
