Appendix B
Using the system console and non-graphical displays

This appendix describes utilities and features that affect the use of the system console and non-graphical displays, including serial terminals. Much of the information presented here concerns use of the console in non-graphical mode.

Console displays are connected to a standard display adapter, while color terminals are connected to the system by special adapters.

Tasks discussed here include:

Using multiscreens
Using the console screen protection feature
Changing non-graphical video fonts
Controlling non-graphical color displays with setcolor
Setting the console keyboard type
Using serial multiscreens with mscreen

If you want to set up a serial console, refer to ``Setting up serial consoles''.
