This is now done by setfont. mapscrn openvt starts a program on a new virtual terminal (VT). openvt psf* are a set of tools for handling Unicode character tables for console fonts. psf* resizecons changes the kernel idea of the console size. resizecons setfont lets you change the EGA/VGA fonts on the console. setfont setkeycodes loads kernel scancode-to-keycode mapping table entries. This is useful if ther are unusual keys on your keyboard. setkeycodes setleds sets the keyboard flags and LEDs. For example, many people find it useful to have Num Lock on by default. setleds setlogcons sends kernel messages to the console. setlogcons setmetamode defines the keyboard meta-key handling. setmetamode setvesablank lets you fiddle with the built-in hardware screensaver (a blank screen). setvesablank showconsolefont shows the current EGA/VGA console screen font. showconsolefont showkey reports the scancodes,keycodes, and ASCII codes of the keys pressed on the keyboard. showkey unicode_start puts the keyboard and console in UNICODE mode. Never use it on LFS, because applications are not configured to support UNICODE. unicode_start unicode_stop reverts keyboard and console from UNICODE mode. unicode_stop
