Hi tech@, The recent spike of interest around framebuffer consoles has prompted me to revisit a proposal I sent back in early 2017 [1].
Aesthetics considerations aside, kettenis@ raised the concern that colors from the original rasops palette carefully matched what OpenFirmware uses for the console on sparc64. Therefore, I propose to default on using the proper VGA text mode palette RGB values, and to keep the original rasops color palette on sparc64. The differences between the two palettes can be seen here [2]. Comments? OK?
