shutting down Photon

Hi-

I’m running Photon on an embedded system without pdm and pwm. I’d like to be able to shutdown Photon and return the console to text mode without rebooting. On my workstation, killing Photon will do just that. On the embedded system, killing Photon shuts down my application, but the screen stays in graphics mode. Accessing the machine through a serial port, I can run “sin” and see that everything appears fine… a shell is connected to /dev/con1, etc.

Is there a special mode for vesabios.ms that will switch back to text mode?

TIA,

  • Pete

Assuming your bios supports text mode.

vesabios.ms -i0x03 -cnone -nnone

should do the trick if memory serves me.
