>The VGA video RAMDAC palette is at 0x3c8 in write mode and 0x03c7 in
The kernel (at least 2.0.x) recognizes also magic escape strings,
when echoed to screen, change the palette. I don't remember exactly the
sequence but something like "<esc>[RRGGBBP" where RR, GG and BB
are the primary colors (0x0..0xff) in hex. Possibly [ is actually ] (?).
The original palette can be restored with "<esc>[R". (This too
is from my faulty memory...)
