Zhcon is a fast Linux Console Chinese System which supports
4
framebuffer device.It can display Chinese, Japanese or Korean
5
double byte characters.Supported language encodings include:
6
GB2312, GBK, BIG5, JIS and KSC.
7
It can also use input methods(table based) from M$ pwin98 and
12
All the source codes are published under GPL!(see COPYING)
13
The input methods used in zhcon are originally written by
14
ejoy<ejoy@users.sf.net> and are published under GPL too!
15
However currently the words of the ime are converted from M$ windows
16
& UCDOS. Future version of zhcon will use its own input table to
17
purify its *free* spirit.
18
The bpsf font format used in zhcon is proposed by one of its core
19
developers Hu Yong<ccpaging@etang.com> based on psf format.See doc/
20
bpsf.txt for more detail.

This version includes a beta FreeBSD port and has been tested on
43
FreeBSD 4.8. You should read README.BSD before you start.
44
Mouse cut & paste should work fine on FreeBSD platform, but Linux gpm
45
support is still in progress, see below.
49
For guys who want to use zhcon with gpm mouse support, please
50
read README.gpm before you start. You can try but we do not promise
51
it will work on your machine.
55
Set console as fb device
56
Add line to /etc/lilo.conf as below:
65
The following table shows the mode numbers you can input at
66
the VGA prompt or for use with the LILO program. (actually
67
these numbers are plus 0x200 to make it easier to refer to
70
Colours 640x400 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200

Key: 8 bits = 256 colours, 15 bits = 32, 768 colours,
80
16 bits = 65, 536 colours, 24 bits = 16.8 million colours,
81
32 bits - same as 24 bits, but the extra 8 bits can be used
82
for other things, and fits perfectly with a 32 bit PCI/VLB
85
Additional modes are at the discretion of the manufacturer,
86
as the VESA 2.0 document only defines modes up to 0x31F. You
87
may need to do some fiddling around to find these extra
