I knew everybody was waiting with baited breath for
vcstime (vcstime - Show time in upper right hand
corner of the console screen) to run again after that
success with the pc speaker!
This is the patch on top of Jean-Daniel's 2.4.29-rc2

In Debian Sarge, because I have svgatextmode installed
I had to start vcstime separately after console-screen
and not with console-screen's config because it would
write to the screen in two places.
vcstime puts the tod in the right upper corner of all
the vc's.
The program mentioned here:
http://www.icewalkers.com/Linux/ManPages/vcsa-4.html
now also works as an example of screen attribute
changes.
