2006-01-10[PATCH] fbcon: disable ywrap if not supported by fbcon scrolling codeKnut Petersen
updatescrollmode() must not select ywrap scrolling if divides(vc->vc_font.height, yres) is not true as this is not supported by the actual ywrap scrolling code. The bug is triggered with e.g. mode 800x600, vxres 1024, vyres 8192, bpp 8, font dimensions 8x16, 8Mb video ram and FBINFO_HWACCEL_YWRAP set. If those conditions are met, scrolling is broken and garbage is permanently displayed at the bottom of the screen. No regression, no possible side effects. Definitely needed by cyblafb and probably needed by amifb.

2006-01-07[PATCH] fbcon: donīt call set_par() in fbcon_init() if vc_mode == KD_GRAPHICSKnut Petersen
Nothing prevents a user to modprobe a framebuffer driver from e.g. the xterm prompt. As a result, the set_par() function of the driver will be called from fbcon_init(). This is fatal as a lot of X / framebuffer combinations are unable to recover from set_par() reprogramming the graphics controller in KD_GRAPHICS mode. It is also unnecessary as the set_par() function will be called during a switch to KD_TEXT anyway. Because of this no side effects are possible.

2005-12-20[PATCH] Fix framebuffer console upside-down ywrap scrollingKnut Petersen
Whenever ywrap scrolling is selected together with 180 degree screen rotation, 2.6.15-rc6 and earlier versions are broken. fb_pan_display() expects non-negative yoffsets, but ud_update_start() calls it with yoffsets down to -(yres - font height). This patch transforms yoffset to the correct range 0 ... vyres-1. Some obviously unneeded parentheses are removed, too. Verified with cyblafb, should be applied before 2.6.15-final because it does fix the framebuffer rotation code introduced early in the 2.6.15 release cycle.

2005-12-12[PATCH] fbdev: fix switch to KD_TEXT, enhanced versionKnut Petersen
Every framebuffer driver relies on the assumption that the set_par() function of the driver is called before drawing functions and other functions dependent on the hardware state are executed. Whenever you switch from X to a framebuffer console for the very first time, there is a chance that a broken X system has _not_ set the mode to KD_GRAPHICS, thus the vt and framebuffer code executes a screen redraw and several other functions before a set_par() is executed. This is believed to be not a bug of linux but a bug of X/xdm. At least some X releases used by SuSE and Debian show this behaviour. There was a 2nd case, but that has been fixed by Antonino Daplas on 10-dec-2005. This patch allows drivers to set a flag to inform fbcon_switch() that they prefer a set_par() call on every console switch, working around the problems caused by the broken X releases. The flag will be used by the next release of cyblafb and might help other drivers that assume a hardware state different to the one used by X. As the default behaviour does not change, this patch should be acceptable to everybody. Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Acked-by: "Antonino A.

2005-11-22[PATCH] vgacon: Fix usage of stale height value on vc initializationAntonino A. Daplas
Reported by: Wayne E. Harlan "[1.] One line summary of the problem: When the kernel option "vga=1" is used, additional tty's (alt+control+Fx with x=2,3,4,5, etc) do not provide the full 50 lines of output. The first one does have 50 lines, however. [2.] Full description of the problem/report: These addtitional tty's show only 39 lines plus the top pixel of the 40-th line. The remaining lines are black and not shown. Kernel version 2.6.13.4 does not show this problem." This bug is caused by using a stale font height value on vgacon_init. Booting with vga=1 gives an 80x50 screen with an 8x8 font. Somewhere during the initialization, the font was changed to 8x9 and the first vc was correctly resized to 80x44. However, the rest of the vc's were not allocated yet, and when they were subsequently initialized, they still used a font height of 8 (instead of 9) causing the mentioned bug. Fix by saving the new font height to vga_video_font_height.

2005-11-09[PATCH] fbcon: Console Rotation - Add ability to control rotation via sysfsAntonino A. Daplas
Add ability to set rotation via sysfs. The attributes are located in /sys/class/graphics/fb[n] and accepts 0 - unrotated; 1 - clockwise; 2 - upside down; 3 - counterclockwise. The attributes are: con_rotate (r/w) - set rotation of the active console con_rotate_all (w) - set rotation of all consoles rotate (r/w) - set rotation of the framebuffer, if supported. Currently, none of the drivers support this. This is probably temporary, since con_rotate and con_rotate_all are console-specific and has no business being under the fb device. However, until the console layer acquires it's own sysfs class, these attributes will temporarily reside here.

2005-11-09[PATCH] fbcon: Console Rotation - Prepare fbcon for console rotationAntonino A. Daplas
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. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This patch fixes the function so that it looks for the closest mode as far as both resolution and refresh rate are concerned. The function's first argument is changed to fb_videomode so that the refresh rate can be specified by the caller, as fb_var_screeninfo doesn't have any fields that could directly hold this data.

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.

This patch fixes a long-standing vgacon bug: characters with the bright bit set were left on the screen and not blacked out. All I did was that I lookuped up some examples on the net about setting the vga palette, and added the call missing from the linux kernel, but included in all other ones. It works for me. You can test this by writing something with the bright set to the console, for example: echo -e "\e[1;31mhello there\e[0m" and then wait for the console to blank itself (by default, after 10 mins of inactivity), maybe making it faster using setterm -blank 1 so you only have to wait 1 minute.

2005-10-17[PATCH] SVGATextMode fixSamuel Thibault
Fix bug 5441. I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode... Couldn't this be integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?... So because of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ? Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles separately... The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that the caller knows what it does (i.e. it is svgatextmode) and then disable any further call to vgacon_doresize. Svgatextmode is usually used to _expand_ the display, not to shrink it. And it is harmless in the case of a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped. I tested it on my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode. A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined and svgatextmode be patched.

Reported by: walt <wa1ter@myrealbox.com> "I routinely switch the console font during bootup to 8x8 so I can get 50 lines per screen. Until 09 Sept, just changing to the small font automatically gave me all 50 lines -- but now I'm only getting 25 lines even with the small font. The bottom half of the screen displays the text that already scrolled off the top." This bug is due to an erroneous check in the recently added hook, vgacon_resize(). It checks the new height against the original number of rows of the console. Because the original number of rows depends on both the scanline and the font height, check it instead against the scanline/fontheight.

2005-09-13[PATCH] fbcon: constify font dataJan Beulich
const-ify the font control structures and data, to make somewhat better guarantees that these are not modified anywhere in the kernel. Specifically for a kernel debugger to share this information from the normal kernel code, such a guarantee seems rather desirable. Signed-off-by: Jan Beulich <jbeulich@novell.com> Cc: "Antonino A.

2005-09-12[PATCH] USB: sisusb[vga] updateThomas Winischhofer
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.

2005-09-09[PATCH] fbcon: Break up bit_putcs into its component functionsAntonino A. Daplas
The function bit_putcs() in drivers/video/console/bitblit.c is becoming large. Break it up into its component functions (bit_putcs_unaligned and bit_putcs_aligned). Incorporated fb_pad_aligned_buffer() optimization by Roman Zippel.

2005-09-09[PATCH] framebuffer: bit_putcs() optimization for 8x* fontsKnut Petersen
This trivial patch gives a performance boost to the framebuffer console Constructing the bitmaps that are given to the bitblit functions of the framebuffer drivers is time consuming. Here we avoide a call to the slow fb_pad_aligned_buffer(). The patch replaces that call with a simple but much more efficient bytewise copy. The kernel spends a significant time at this place if you use 8x* fonts. Every pixel displayed on your screen is prepared here. Some benchmark results: Displaying a file of 2000 lines with 160 characters each takes 889 ms system time using cyblafb on my system (Iīm using a 1280x1024 video mode, resulting in a 160x64 character console) Displaying the same file with the enclosed patch applied to 2.6.13 only takes 760 ms system time, saving 129 ms or 14.5%. Font widths other than 8 are not affected. The advantage and correctness of this patch should be obvious.

2005-09-09[PATCH] fbcon: Saner 16-color to 4-color conversionAntonino A. Daplas
Currently, the default linux 16-colors are converted to 4-colors by simply dividing the values by 4. However, this is not necessarily correct since the first 4 colors are converted to black, rendering them invisible. So, for black, no conversion; for light colors, convert to gray, for normal text color, no conversion, and for bright colors, convert to intense white.

2005-09-09[PATCH] fbdev: Fix greater than 1 bit monochrome color handlingAntonino A. Daplas
Currently, fbcon assumes that the visual FB_VISUAL_MONO* is always 1 bit. According to Geert, there are old hardware where it's possible to have monochrome at 8-bit, but has only 2 colors, black - 0x00 and white - 0xff. Fix color handlers (fb_get_color_depth, and get_color) for this special case.
