OPTIONS
If you don't like default brown color in cko patch you can change value of variable "color" and set it to color you like. Here is a an example of colors and it's codes.
The numbers are the attribute codes used by the video card in hexadecimal: the most significant bit is the background and the least significant bit is the foreground.
REQUIREMENTS
In case of 2.4.x kernels, one should say Y to CONFIG_FB_VGA16 option in order to select additional 8 colors (bright colors).
CONFIG_FB_VGA16 option depends on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL (Prompt for development and/or incomplete code/drivers) and CONFIG_FB (Support for frame buffer devices) options.
In case of 2.6.x kernels, one should say Y to CONFIG_FB_VGA16 and CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE in order to select additional 8 colors (bright colors).
CONFIG_FB_VGA16 and CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE depends on CONFIG_FB (Support for frame buffer devices).
The reason for such requirements comes from fact that current Linux console implementation cannot handle 512-byte fonts and bright colors (base 8 colors with added 0x80) unless framebuffer is used.
BUGS
Current version of cko does not contain known bugs.
