I'm sorry to be misunderstanding, but i meant a mono console. A mda
(momschrome display adaptor) isn't even able to display *any*
graphics[1].
This is also very different from a monochrome vga monitor, which renders
64 greys, an mda shows only gray, white and underlined. I need something
like pine's default, invert the active item - but i want also
the colors on termninals that support it.
Again:
How do i tell my system that the _textmode console_ is
black/white?
Tia,

[1] ... which was the gread advantage of the hercules card: There you
could use a 720x368 black/white graphics mode (I'll never forget
that numbers!)
