why useless? I can't stand white on black, oh well, I guess I am the
only one, that's ok :) I thought it would be a viable option
concerning any screen related program.

hm reset just doesn;t do anything, how do you use this program?
doesn't seem to take any argument, if yes, --help didn't help and no
manual about it. how could I know?
echo colorthingy doesn't work. either with ALT 27, or CTRL V (then
esc), or press ESC etc. 
what I meant was, in the case you didn't follow exactly what I meant:
if vdo_falcon, black_col=xxxxxxxxxxx white_col=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
I had to edit that and recompile, so it works fine now, I have a
yellow text on a blue background. I thought it was pretty handy to be
able to access these from arguments to vconsd.
can you set blue back and yellow text from color seq to your vcons?
