Keep in mind that setterm and ncurses are user-space things that have to talk 
to the kernel somehow (output an escape sequence, call an ioctl, etc).  If 
you read through their source code and figure out what it is they're doing, 
you can do that directly.

Generally it's an ansi-like escape sequence, though.  You might want to 
recompile your kernel with a couple of printk's in it to figure out what it's 
doing when you try to invoke this stuff, too...
