fbset to other VTs
Hi, has anyone figured out how to change fb settings to VTs other
than the current one? Specifically:
- how can I change fb setting for VT #x while not "on" it? (either
when I'm on another VT, or when I'm connected through the network
or an xterm -- or even a script)
- how can a default fb setting be made for all VTs (which isn't a
standard mode that can be passed to the kernel during boot?)
I know about the -[io]fb flags.
While we're at it...
- what is the format outputted from dd if=/dev/fb0 ? "Just" a bitmap
of the fb?
- are there programs that know how to read this format and display it?
- are they intelligent enough to know about different fb modes?
thanks.
