PA-RISC already handled the dummy console screen size selection in
Kconfig, so generalize this to other platforms.
ARM keeps on using screen_info, which is filled in by
platform-specific code, or from ATAGS.

arm64 is unlikely to have a VGA console and does not export screen_info
causing build failures if the driver is build, for example in all*config.
Add a dependency on !ARM64 to prevent this.
This list is getting quite long, it may be easier to depend on a symbol
which architectures that do support the driver can select.

fbdev provides framebuffer hotplugging, hence, we need to allow fbcon to
unbind from framebuffers. Unfortunately, fbcon_fb_unbind() cannot unbind
from the last framebuffer, unless console-unbinding is supported.
Fixing fbcon_unbind() to return 0 caused some horrible NULL-derefs in the
VT layer and I couldn't figure out why. Hence, lets just require
console-unbinding so fbdev hotplugging works with fbcon.

Several drivers need font support independent of CONFIG_VT, cfr. commit
9cbce8d7e1dae0744ca4f68d62aa7de18196b6f4, "console/font: Refactor font
support code selection logic").
Hence move the fonts and their support logic from drivers/video/console/ to
its own library directory lib/fonts/.
This also allows to limit processing of drivers/video/console/Makefile to
CONFIG_VT=y again.

The current Makefile rules to build font support are messy and buggy.
Replace them by Kconfig rules:
- Introduce CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT, which controls the building of all font
code,
- Select CONFIG_FONT_SUPPORT for all drivers that use fonts,
- Select CONFIG_FONT_8x16 for all drivers that default to the VGA8x16
font,
- Drop the bogus console dependency for CONFIG_VIDEO_VIVI,
- Always process drivers/video/console/Makefile, as some drivers need
fonts even if CONFIG_VT is not set.
This fixes (if CONFIG_SOLO6X10=y and there are no built-in console
drivers):
drivers/built-in.o: In function `solo_osd_print':
drivers/staging/media/solo6x10/solo6x10-enc.c:144: undefined reference to `.find_font'
This fixes (if CONFIG_VT=n):
drivers/built-in.o: In function `vivi_init':
vivi.c:(.init.text+0x1a3da): undefined reference to `find_font'

The frame buffer console needs at least one font to be built into
the kernel, so add the necessary Kconfig magic to guarantee that
one of the available font is always on. If a user accidentally
disables all fonts manually, the 8x16 font will be selected
anyway.

These comments mention CONFIG options that do not exist: not as a symbol
in a Kconfig file (without the CONFIG_ prefix) and neither as a symbol
(with that prefix) in the code.
There's one reference to XSCALE_PMU_TIMER as a negative dependency.
But XSCALE_PMU_TIMER is never defined (CONFIG_XSCALE_PMU_TIMER is
also unused in the code). It shows up with type "unknown" if you search
for it in menuconfig. Apparently a negative dependency on an unknown
symbol is always true. That negative dependency can be removed too.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.

Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.
Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.
If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

Allow fbcon to select the primary display adapter using the
fb_is_primary_device() arch-specific helper. If a a primary adapter is
detected, fbcon will unbind the old adapter from the VT layer, then rebind
using the new adapter. This requires that bind_/unbind_con_driver() be made
public.
Because this feature may produce unexpected behavior (from the user's POV),
this must be explicitly enabled in Kconfig.

The scrollback buffer of the VGA console is located in VGA RAM. This RAM
is fixed in size and is very small. To make the scrollback buffer larger,
it must be placed instead in System RAM.
This patch adds this feature. The feature and the size of the buffer are
made as a kernel config option. Besides consuming kernel memory, this
feature will slow down the console by approximately 20%.

This patch series implements generic code to rotate the console at 90, 180,
and 270 degrees. The implementation is completely done in the framebuffer
console level, thus no changes to the framebuffer layer or to the drivers
are needed.
Console rotation is required by some Sharp-based devices where the natural
orientation of the display is not at 0 degrees. Also, users that have
displays that can pivot will benefit by having a console in portrait mode
if they so desire.
The choice to implement the code in the console layer rather than in the
framebuffer layer is due to the following reasons:
- it's fast
- it does not require driver changes
- it can coexist with devices that can rotate the display at the hardware level
- it complements graphics applications that can do display rotation
The changes to core fbcon are minimal-- recognition of the console
rotation angle so it can swap directions, origins and axes (xres vs yres,
xpanstep vs ypanstep, xoffset vs yoffset, etc) and storage of the rotation
angle per display. The bulk of the code that does the actual drawing to the
screen are placed in separate files. Each angle of rotation has separate
methods (bmove, clear, putcs, cursor, update_start which is derived from
update_var, and clear_margins). To mimimize processing time, the fontdata
are pre-rotated at each console switch (only if the font or the angle has
changed).
The option can be compiled out (CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION = n) if
rotation is not needed.
Choosing the rotation angle can be done in several ways:
1. boot option fbcon=rotate:n, where
n = 0 - normal
n = 1 - 90 degrees (clockwise)
n = 2 - 180 degrees (upside down)
n = 3 - 270 degrees (counterclockwise)
2. echo n > /sys/class/graphics/fb[num]/con_rotate
where n is the same as described above. It sets the angle of rotation
of the current console
3 echo n > /sys/class/graphics/fb[num]/con_rotate_all
where n is the same as described above. Globally sets the angle of
rotation.
GOTCHAS:
The option, especially at angles of 90 and 270 degrees, will exercise
the least used code of drivers. Namely, at these angles, panning is done
in the x-axis, so it can reveal bugs in the driver if xpanstep is set
incorrectly. A workaround is to set xpanstep = 0.
Secondly, at these angles, the framebuffer memory access can be
unaligned if (fontheight * bpp) % 32 ~= 0 which can reveal bugs in the drivers
imageblit, fillrect and copyarea functions. (I think cfbfillrect may have
this buglet). A workaround is to use a standard 8x16 font.
Speed:
The scrolling speed difference between 0 and 180 degrees is minimal,
somewhere areound 1-2%. At 90 or 270 degress, speed drops down to a vicinity
of 30-40%. This is understandable because the blit direction is across the
framebuffer "direction." Scrolling will be helped at these angles if xpanstep
is not equal to zero, use of 8x16 fonts, and setting xres_virtual >= xres * 2.
Note: The code is tested on little-endian only, so I don't know if it will
work in big-endian. Please let me know, it will take only less than a minute
of your time.
This patch prepares fbcon for console rotation and contains the following
changes:
- add rotate field in struct fbcon_ops to keep fbcon's current rotation
angle
- add con_rotate field in struct display to store per-display rotation angle
- create a private copy of the current var to fbcon. This will prevent
fbcon from directly manipulating info->var, especially the fields xoffset,
yoffset and vmode.
- add ability to swap pertinent axes (xres, yres; xpanstep, ypanstep; etc)
depending on the rotation angle
- change global update_var() (function that sets the screen start address)
as an fbcon method update_start. This is required because the axes, start
offset, and/or direction can be reversed depending on the rotation angle.
- add fbcon method rotate_font() which will rotate each character bitmap to
the correct angle of rotation.
- add fbcon boot option 'rotate' to select the angle of rotation at bootime.
Currently does nothing until all patches are applied.

I converted the "rl" console font from the kbd utility to be a built-in font
for the framebuffer console, and I was wondering if you would be OK with
including it. I've generated a font_rl.c file and related minor

is why I use it and selected it for conversion. I believe the font is GPL'd.

here is a new and extended version of the sisusbvga (previously: sisusb)
driver. The patch is against 2.6.13 and updates the driver to version 0.0.8.
Additions include complete VGA/EGA text console support and a build-in
display mode infrastructure for userland applications that don't know
about the graphics internals.
Fixes include some BE/LE issues and a get/put_dev bug in the previous
version.
Other changes include a change of the module name from "sisusb" to
"sisusbvga". The previous one was too generic IMHO.
Please note that the patch also affects the Makefile in
drivers/video/console as the driver requires the VGA 8x16 font in case
the text console part is selected.
Heavily tested, as usual. Please apply.
One thing though: I already prepared for removal of the "mode" field and
the changed "name" field in the usb_class_driver structure. This will
perhaps need some refinement depending on whether you/Linus merge the
respective core changes before or after 2.6.14.

on the vga8x16 font).
This patch is non-intrusive, no options are enabled by default so most

I am placing my changes under the GPL, however, I've not seen any copyright
