# # This files tells the console-tools package: (Salt managed) # # - whether to load a specific font and boot (and maybe a screen-font map, # but you should avoid that if possible). # - whether to setup an Application-Charset Map other than the default CP437. # - whether to start "vcstime" to have time on all text VC'S. # # You can also specify per-VC settings by suffixing variable names as in # the examples below. This only works on framebuffer devices. # # CAVEATS: # # - When using the new framebuffer devices, the "global setting" for a font # only affects the current console (ie., at boot-time, the first one) # - ACM setting involves 2 steps (maybe loading a user ACM, and activating # it on a given charset slot - see charset(1) for details), the 1st of which # affects the entire system, but the 2nd of which only affects the current # VC (ie., at boot-time, the first one). So that if you want to use the same # ACM on all VCs, you have to specify "APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc=user" for all # relevant values of . # # Example: # #SCREEN_FONT=iso01.f16 #SCREEN_FONT_vc2=LatArCyrHeb-16 # #APP_CHARSET_MAP=iso05 #APP_CHARSET_MAP_vc2=user # # Set the following - more euro-friendly default than kernel font. # SCREEN_FONT=latcyrheb-sun16.psf #DO_VCSTIME=yes # # Forget this one unless you _know_ it is necessary for your font: #SCREEN_FONT_MAP=iso01 # **** screen saver/DPMS settings: all VCs **** # These settings are commented by default to avoid the chance of damage to # very old monitors that don't support DPMS signalling. # screen blanking timeout. monitor remains on, but the screen is cleared to # range: 0-60 min (0==never) kernels I've looked at default to 10 minutes. # (see linux/drivers/char/console.c) BLANK_TIME=0 # blanking method (VESA DPMS mode to use after BLANK_TIME, before powerdown): # on: the default, no DPMS signalling. near instant powerup, no power saving # vsync: DPMS Standby mode. nearly instant recovery, uses 110/120W (17" screen) # hsync: DPMS Suspend mode. typically 3s recovery, uses 15/120W (17" screen) # powerdown,off: DPMS Off mode, typ. 10s recovery, uses 5/120W (17" screen) # Those values are for my 17" Mag, but some monitors do suspend the same as # standby. xset dpms force {off|standby|suspend|on} is useful for this, if X # supports DPMS on your video card. Set X's DPMS screensaver with xset dpms # or use option power_saver in XF86Config # # DPMS set by default to off, because hsync can cause problems on certain # hardware, such as Armada E500 laptops BLANK_DPMS=off # Powerdown time. The console will go to DPMS Off mode POWERDOWN_TIME # minutes _after_ blanking.
