2009-04-01tridentfb: delete acceleration Kconfig optionKrzysztof Helt
Remove Kconfig option for tridentfb acceleration. The acceleration can be switched off with modules "noaccel" parameter. The acceleration for Trident chips was fixed in the 2.6.27 kernel. Also, add CyberXXX and CyberBlade names to Kconfig option's name. It should make easier to find the tridentfb choice for cyblafb driver's users. The cyblafb driver has been replaced by the tridentfb driver.

2009-04-01fbdev: remove cyblafb driverKrzysztof Helt
A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without the bugs of the latter. Changes to the tridentfb driver: - FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb. The cyblafb used a blitter for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade chipsets. The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core. Use the blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D cores. Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the cyblafb. - a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the first author of the tridentfb). Tested on AGP Blade3D card and PCChips M787CLR motherboard: VIA C3 cpu + VT8601 north bridge (aka Cyberblade/i1).

Add imageblit acceleration for the Blade3D family of cores. The code is based on code from the cyblafb driver. It is a step toward assimilating back the cyblafb driver into the tridentfb driver.

2008-07-24tridentfb: Blade3D clock fixesKrzysztof Helt
This patch fixes following problems: - does not allow the m parameter to reach 0 as it locks the graphics core (power cycle needed) - for the newer chips (with new clock registers) does not allow of n / m ratio below 4 as it gives unstable image on the Blade3D core - extend shift parameter (k) range to 2 for the newer chips to cope with the n /m >= 4 limit at low resolution (bandwidth) modes - prefer modes with higher n / m ratio (higher k values) Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2008-07-24tridentfb: fix console freeze when switching from X11Krzysztof Helt
This patch fixes two problems when acceleration is enabled: - console switch from the Xorg locks up the computer because the Xorg code locks some registers and disables the mmio mode, so reenable these in the tridentfb_set_par() and enable_mmio() - blacklist the Image975 chipset from setting PCI burst mode. This helps with random lock ups of the framebuffer on this chip. The same fix is probably needed for the Xorg as well.

2005-11-07[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbconAntonino A. Daplas
According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is moved to the console directory. Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own version. The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will also not be loaded.

2005-09-09[PATCH] framebuffer: new driver for cyberblade/i1 graphics coreKnut Petersen
This is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core. Currently tridenfb claims to support the cyberblade/i1 graphics core. This is of very limited truth. Even vesafb is faster and provides more working modes and a much better quality of the video signal. There is a great number of bugs in tridentfb ... but most often it is impossible to decide if these bugs are real bugs or if fixing them for the cyberblade/i1 core would break support for one of the other supported chips. Tridentfb seems to be unmaintained,and documentation for most of the supported chips is not available. So "fixing" cyberblade/i1 support inside of tridentfb was not an option, it would have caused numerous if(CYBERBLADEi1) else ... cases and would have rendered the code to be almost unmaintainable. A first version of this driver was published on 2005-07-31. A fix for a bug reported by Jochen Hein was integrated as well as some changes requested by Antonino A. Daplas. A message has been added to tridentfb to inform current users of tridentfb to switch to cyblafb if the cyberblade/i1 graphics core is detected. This patch is one logical change, but because of the included documentation it is bigger than 70kb. Therefore it is not sent to lkml and linux-fbdev-devel, Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Cc: Muli Ben-Yehuda <mulix@mulix.org> Acked-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Reported by: Jochen Hein (Bugzilla Bug 4312) When there is disk I/O happening, the framebuffer has a little snow on the screen. Once I/O has finished, no garbage remains on screen. This bug was explained by: Knut Petersen Most important is CRTC register 2f, signal quality is also improved for higher vclk values by changing set_vclk() according to the X drivers and cyblafb.c The fix is to set the performance register (0x2f) with a more stable value.

2005-08-01[PATCH] tridentfb: Fix scrolling artifacts if acceleration is enabledAntonino A. Daplas
Reported by: Jochen Hein (Bugzilla Bug 4386) booting leaves the end of long lines in the last line on screen when scrolling. When X is running, scrolling puts garbage on the screen (looks like X data) Console switch fixes the screen. Behaviour seems to be identical with noaccel and without on the video=tridentfb parameter in lilo.conf. This bug was explained by: Knut_Petersen Acceleration is broken for all BLADE 3D chips for all versions of kernel 2.6 except for 32bit modes. Most important reason is that the u32 col parameter of the graphics engine needs the color value replicated to all u8 of the u32 (8bit modes) and to both u16 of the u32.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
