2009-11-19vt: Fix use of "new" in a struct fieldAlan Cox
As this struct is exposed to user space and the API was added for this release it's a bit of a pain for the C++ world and we still have time to fix it. Rename the fields before we end up with that pain in an actual release.

2009-09-19vt: add an activate and lockAlan Cox
X and other graphical interfaces need to be able to flip to a console and lock it into graphics mode without races. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-09-19vt: move kernel stuff out of vt.hAlan Cox
We have vt_kern.h for this Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2009-09-19vt: add an event interfaceAlan Cox
This is needed and requested in various forms for ConsoleKit, screenblank handling and the like so do the job with a single interface. Also build the interface so that unlike VT_WAITACTIVE and friends it won't miss events. FIXME: Should this be a waitactive ioctl or a new device file you can poll and read events from. We need the code anyway to fix up the existing broken wait for console switch logic but the ConsoleKit people would prefer the new device to the ioctl we have here Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2007-10-19Console events and accessibilitySamuel Thibault
Some external modules like Speakup need to monitor console output. This adds a VT notifier that such modules can use to get console output events: allocation, deallocation, writes, other updates (cursor position, switch, etc.) [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix headers_check] Signed-off-by: Samuel Thibault <samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org> Cc: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
2006-08-27[PATCH] vcsa attribute bits -> ioctl(VT_GETHIFONTMASK)Samuel Thibault
When reading /dev/vcsa while a font with more than 256 characters is loaded, one of the attribute bits records the 9th bit of the character. But depending on the console driver (vgacon or fbcon for instance), that's bit 3 or bit 0. And there is no way for userland to know that, thus no way for userland to safely grab the screen content. So here is a (tested) patch: Add a VT_GETHIFONTMASK ioctl for knowing which bit is the 9th bit for VC text (vc_hi_font_mask field of the vc_data structure).

2006-07-10[PATCH] vt: Remove VT-specific declarations and definitions from tty.hJon Smirl
MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their dependency on tty.h.

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!
