2005-11-09[PATCH] fbdev: Possible endian fix in cfbimageblitAntonino A. Daplas
Fix possible endian bug(?) when bit testing in slow_imageblit(). This function is rarely called (only if (width * bpp) % 32 != 0) thus the bug is not triggered. However, if the console is rotated at 90 or 270 degrees, the height becomes the width, and a variety of fonts have heights that will force a call to slow_imageblit().

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.

2005-11-09[PATCH] savagefb: X-panning fixesAntonino A. Daplas
The driver unconditionally sets xpanstep to 2. However, a value of 4 empirically works better at bpp = 8, and 2 for 16 and 32. This buglet was exposed by the rotation code. Second fix is the unconditional call to update_start() without verifying if the offsets are correct. Remove this call, it's not necessary and secondly, it causes a crash with invalid values.

In both case, the screen stays black, but seems divided into 4 vertical bands. Some white lines pop up randomly on each vertical band." The problem is a combination of an incorrect xclk plus lack of timing information. The adapter is attached to an LCD device that can do 1280x600 (which is not a standard resolution). The global mode database does not have an entry for it. Fortunately, the Video BIOS contains the complete timing info for this display, however, atyfb is not making use of it.

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.

2005-11-07[PATCH] nvidiafb: Add flat panel dither supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
nvidiafb didn't fully hook-up the code it borrowed from X for doing flat panel dithering (this is useful for 6 bits panels). This adds a driver option to force it, and by default "reads" the current value from the chip to get the firmware setting. It significantly improves the quality of images on the iMac G5 I have here (though the X driver doesn't yet "read" the current value and defaults to 0, so you have to add Option "FBDither" "true" to your X config file to get that, I'll try to fix X.org to "read" the default unless specified asap).

2005-11-07[PATCH] nvidiafb: Fix mode setting & PPC supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This patch fixes nvifiafb mode setting code to be closer to what the X driver does, which actually makes it work on the 5200FX I have access to. It also fix the routine that gets the EDID from Open Firmware on PPC, it was broken in various ways and would crash at boot. Compared to the patch I posted to linux-fbdev last week, this one just changes a printk to be closer to the other ones in the driver.
