-0 aaa
Set the background color to aaa, where aaa is a three digit hex number representing the red, green, and blue color levels. 

-1 aaa
Set the foreground color to aaa, where aaa is a three digit hex number representing the red, green, and blue color levels. 

-f font
Load the specified font before running getty.  font may be an absolute pathname of a font file, or the name of one of the fonts in /usr/amiga/lib/font. 

-g key
Bind the screen to function key group key.  If not specified, the screen will have a random binding. 

-m mode
Set the screen’s mode value to mode.  See screen(7A) for a description of the mode bits. 

-x n Request a screen n pixels wide. 

-y n Request a screen n pixels high.

EXAMPLES

The /etc/inittab entry F2:23:respawn:/etc/getscr -g2 -x800 -y600 -0 000 -1 fff term/con2 con would open a screen on function key 2 with x resolution of 800 pixels and y resolution of 600 pixels.  With the default font (Topaz 8), this would yield 50 lines of text each with 80 characters per line. The screen would have a black background and a white foreground.
