Can SeaBIOS output colored text?

It would be good to highlight keys.
such as "Press F12 for menu" then highlight "F12".

Other BIOS such as Award and AMI can use colors in text.
Example "Press F12 for boot menu", then "F12" is in highlighted color.

[SeaBIOS] DC Mapping

2012-08-31 Thread Christian Gmeiner
Hi all,

I posted some patches to the ML and want to discuss a part of if - DC mapping.

After looking at the patches again, I think I miss understood something :) DC
mapping is used to be able to configure the display controller via the defined
memory region.

A Graphics Mode
B Monochrome Text Mode
B8000  Color Text Mode

That would mean that if I map the DC to A I can access its registers via
A + register offset or? If this is the case then drop my last two patches.

The "bad" thing is that I don't have a "normal" lx800 platform to test all my
patches.
