    [PATCH] fix vgacon blanking · 1a66ddcb
    Pozsar Balazs 提交于
    This patch fixes a long-standing vgacon bug: characters with the bright bit
    set were left on the screen and not blacked out.  All I did was that I
    lookuped up some examples on the net about setting the vga palette, and
    added the call missing from the linux kernel, but included in all other
    ones.  It works for me.
    
    You can test this by writing something with the bright set to the
    console, for example:
      echo -e "\e[1;31mhello there\e[0m"
    and then wait for the console to blank itself (by default, after 10 mins
    of inactivity), maybe making it faster using
      setterm -blank 1
    so you only have to wait 1 minute.
