To allow for detaching fbcon, it must be able to give up the console. However, the function give_up_console() is plain broken. It just sets the entries in the console driver map to NULL, it leaves the vt layer without a console driver, and does not decrement the module reference count. Calling give_up_console() is guaranteed to hang the machine.. To fix this problem, ensure that the virtual consoles are not left dangling without a driver. All systems have a default boot driver (either vgacon or dummycon) which is never unloaded. For those vt's that lost their driver, the default boot driver is reassigned back to them. Signed-off-by:

One of the limitations of the framebuffer console system is its inablity to unload or detach itself from the console layer. And once it loads, it also locks in framebuffer drivers preventing their unload. Although the con2fbmap utility does provide a means to unload individual drivers, it requires that at least one framebuffer driver is loaded for use by fbcon. With this change, it is possible to detach fbcon from the console layer. If it is detached, it will reattach the boot console driver (which is permanently loaded) back to the console layer so the system can continue to work. As a consequence, fbcon will also decrement its reference count of individual framebuffer drivers, allowing all of these drivers to be unloaded even if fbcon is still loaded. Unless you use drivers that restores the display to text mode (rivafb and i810fb, for example), detaching fbcon does require assistance from userspace tools (ie, vbetools) for text mode to be restored completely. Without the help of these tools, fbcon will leave the VGA console corrupted. The methods that can be used will be described in Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt. Because the vt layer also increments the module reference count for each console driver, fbcon cannot be directly unloaded. It must be detached first prior to unload. Similarly, fbcon can be reattached to the console layer without having to reload the module. A nice feature if fbcon is compiled statically. Attaching and detaching fbcon is done via sysfs attributes. A class device entry for fbcon is created in /sys/class/graphics. The two attributes that controls this feature are detach and attach. Two other attributes that are piggybacked under /sys/class/graphics/fb[n] that are fbcon-specific, 'con_rotate' and 'con_rotate_all' are moved to fbcon. They are renamed as 'rotate' and 'rotate_all' respectively. Overall, this feature is a great help for developers working in the framebuffer or console layer. There is not need to continually reboot the kernel for every small change. It is also useful for regular users who wants to choose between a graphical console or a text console without having to reboot. Example usage for x86: /* start in text mode */ modprobe xxxfb modprobe fbcon /* graphical mode with fbcon using xxxfb */ echo 1 > /sys/class/graphics/fbcon/detach /* back to text mode, will produce corrupt display unless vbetool is used */ rmmod xxxfb modprobe yyyfb /* back to graphical mode with fbcon using yyyfb */ Before trying out this feature, please read Documentation/fb/fbcon.txt. This patch: In order for fbcon to detach itself from the console layer, vgacon, which is a boot console driver, must be fixed so it can retake the console multiple times, not just during init. The following needs to be done: - remove __init from the vgacon_startup, this is called again by take_over_console(). - vc->rows and vc->cols are set manually by vgacon during init. After init, vc_resize() can be used - make sure the scrollback_buffer is not reallocated Signed-off-by:

Modify the sysfs description of a video mode such that modes are tagged with their scan type, (p)rogessive, (i)nterlaced, (d)ouble scan. For example, U:1920x1080i-50. This is useful to disambiguate some of the 'consumer' video timings found in CEA-861 (especially those for EDTV). Signed-off-by:

Logo drawing crashes or produces a corrupt display if the logo width and height are not equal. The dimensions are transposed prior to the actual rotation and the width is used instead of the height in the actual rotation code. These produce a corrupt image. Signed-off-by:

This is a fix for the most annoying problem that remained with neofb: After "setterm -powersave powerdown" the console blanker will disable the backlight after the given timeout expires. If this happens after the lid has been shut, we read "LCD off" from the register and store that in the driver. Once the lid is opened, the backlight turns on, but any key press that would awaken the blanked console will switch the backlight off again. The workaround so far was to use the "display config toggle" Fn key combo - once if no external display is attached, otherwise as often as required to restore the desired display setup. The following patch fixes the issue at least for the LCD-only case, with no external monitor attached. Other display setup permutations are pending further testing, but so far I can guarantee at least no negative change in behaviour, if any at all. Signed-off-by:

Fix image and color handling in atyfb_cursor() - In the 2-bit scheme of the cursor image, just set the first bit to be always zero (turn off transparency and/or XOR), and just do the masking manually - The cursor color is converted into 32-bit RGBA8888 using struct fb_cmap. Each component in the cmap is u16 in size, so mask the upper 8 bits. Signed-off-by:

nVidia is churning out chipsets like there's no tomorrow. And even though the pci_device_id table now has numerous entries, it is still not guaranteed that all supported devices are included or will be included. Fortunately, nvidiafb has chipset detection logic built in. So, change the contents of the pci_device_id table so it will capture all nVidia devices of the display class. Unsupported chipsets will then be filtered out by nvidiafb's detection logic. Signed-off-by:

The EDID block should specify the display's operating limits (vertical and horizontal sync ranges, and maximum dot clock). If not given by the EDID block, the ranges are extrapolated from the modelist. However, the computation used is only a rough approximation, and the resulting values may not reflect the actual capability of the display. This problem is frequently encountered when the EDID block has a single entry, the single mode entry will fail validation. To prevent this, calculate the values based on the same method used in fb_validate_mode(). Signed-off-by:

Reported by: Rich (Bugzilla Bug 6417) "if savage driver is used in x.org together with savagefb, it results in seriously garbled and distorted screen - coupled with severe slowdowns." This bug is the result of Xorg unable to handle savagefb altering the hardware which results in X failing to start properly and/or failed console switching. Add savagefb_state_save and savagefb_state_restore. These hooks will only save and restore the extended VGA registers. Standard VGA registers will be left alone. This is enough to make savagefb play nicely with the latest Xorg savage driver, and perhaps with savage DRI. (Transient screen artifacts may appear before X loads and during console switches). (Unfortunately, blanking the screen also leaves Xorg in a blanked state, so I have to unblank the screen before Xorg loads. So I doubt if the transient screen artifacts will be completely invisible but hopefully it will only be for a shorter duration (not much).) [akpm@osdl.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by:

Allocate space for 2 register states: 'current' for the current state of the hardware, and 'saved', to be used for restoring the hardware to a sane state. This is in preparation for the addition of state save and restore hooks to make savagefb work together with the latest Xorg savage driver. Signed-off-by:
