# DISCLAIMER: <include standard disclaimer here>
# in short: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!
#
# READ THE MANUAL PAGE for a verbose explanation of the syntax of this file!
#
# NOTES:
#
# 0. Just for safety: use "savetextmode" to save your current textmode
# before trying anything of this stuff! If you get it wrong, you can
# always restore your screen with "textmode" (prepare to type that
# "blindly": you might need to!). And to be even safer: do your first
# tests from the standard 80x25 mode, and do your "savetextmode" in
# that mode. It is not al all a sure thing that savetextmode will
# enable you to return your screen to its original condition.
#
# Another option would be to start the X-Windows system before running
# SVGATextMode. X ALSO saves your text mode, and so when your text mode
# is screwed up, switching to X and back might restore the screen again
# (except for the screen SIZE...)
#
# 1. You can use "vgaset" to tune timing parameters, just as in X-Windows.
#
# 2. WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!
# Be absolutely sure that the CHIPSET is specified correctly! The code
# does ABSOLUTELY NO PROBING AT ALL, and will joyfully program your ET4000
# as an S3 chipset, and even pretend everything went OK. Don't ask me what
# horrific effects THAT can have...
# In case of doubt: use SuperProbe, or, better even: look at the XFree86
# confige file (/etc/XF86Config), or look at the VGA chip!
#
# 3. In case of trouble: read the doc/FAQ file in the distribution. It tells
# you what to do or try in case something doesn't work. Also _please_ don't
# forget to read the manuals. They contain lots of hints and background
# information, and most questions you were just about to ask me by E-mail are
# answered in there.

# The "SyncDisks" option syncs your disks (=flushes the disk cache) before

# In case of a crash, you'll still have a filesystem check, but the chance for
# real damage is reduced considerably. I hope this option is useless...

# The "UnderLine" line allows you to define your underline position yourself.
# The underline position is ALWAYS relative to a 32-high font: position 31
# is the bottom-most line, which is also the default underline position
# if the underline position is not defined.
#
# Examples: "15" will result in "strike-through" instead of underlining.
# "0" will put a line on top of underlined text instead of below.
#
# When not defined, underlining is disabled.
# 32-pixel high modes (font 8x32 and 9x32) will still be underlined.

#
# The "Terminals" line tells SVGATextMode which _terminals_ to resize together
# with the screen. What its use is depends on the kernel version you are
# running (represented here by `K'):
#
# K < 1.1.54 : useless. terminal resizing doesn't work on those.
#
# 1.1.54 <= K < 1.3.3 : resizes all VT's (virtual terminals) when a
# terminals line is defined, otherwise SVGATextMode
# resizes all active VT's upto the 16th (i.e.
# /dev/tty1 upto /dev/tty16).
#
# 1.3.3 <= K : useless: the kernel resizes all active VT's automatically
#
#Terminals "tty6" "tty5" "tty4" "tty3" "tty2" "tty1"
#############################################################################
#
# The "ResetProg" line defines a program that will be called after
# SVGATextMode has succesfully finished its job. The primary use would be
# to let some applications know what happened (i.e. send them an appropriate
# signal, or bluntly restart them), if they don't resize automatically
# after SVGATextMode finishes. e.g. selection.
#
# It will be called with TWO arguments: the H and V size of the new text
# mode. Example: SVGATextMode 100x37 will call
#
# /etc/STM_reset 100 37
# Your reset program NEED not use those two arguments, but it could be useful

# CUSTOM modes: put your own modes (new or adapted from above) here.
# You don't HAVE to rename them, since SVGATextMode will
# take the LAST line it finds with the same name.
#
# You can also put all your config options HERE instead of leaving them where
# they are somewhere in between the rest of the junk. This way upgrading to a
# newer TextConfig file is just a matter of cutting and pasting this bottom
# part into your new TextConfig file.
