* [PATCH] fbdev: fix the fb_find_nearest_mode() functionMichal Januszewski2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently the fb_find_nearest_mode() function finds a mode with screen resolution closest to that described by the 'var' argument and with some arbitrary refresh rate (eg. in the following sequence of refresh rates: 70 60 53 85 75, 53 is selected). 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.

* [PATCH] atyfb: Get initial mode timings from LCD BIOSAntonino A. Daplas2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reported by: Jean-Philippe Guérard (Bugzilla Bug 1782) "I've tried with video=atyfb:debug and video=atyfb:debug,mode:1280x600, \ nomtrr. 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. Add support to get the timing information from the BIOS, if available.

* [PATCH] fbcon: Initialize new driver when old driver is releasedAntonino A. Daplas2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | If machine has more than 1 driver installed, and they all drive the same hardware, it's possible that the driver's fb_release() method will attempt to restore the hardware state to the initial state. This will leave the new driver in an undefined state. To prevent this problem, initialize the new driver by calling fb_set_par() when the old driver is released by fbcon.

* [PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbconAntonino A. Daplas2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] nvidiafb: Add flat panel dither supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt2005-11-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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).

* | [PATCH] Set the vga cursor even when hiddenSamuel Thibault2005-11-05
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen, so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This is a great loss for such people. Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the cursor while still moving it. Mario, you should apply it to the speakup kernel for access floppies asap. I'll submit a 2.4 patch too. Signed-off-by: samuel.thibault@ens-lyon.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

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.

|/ / | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an address. This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G on 32-bit architectures. We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G. Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an address by directly comparing to max_pfn. Working with max_pfn instead of high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reported by: Bob Tracy <rct@gherkin.frus.com> "...I've got a Toshiba notebook (730XCDT -- Pentium 150MMX) for which I'm using the Vesa FB driver. When the machine has been idle for some time and the driver attempts to powerdown the display, rather than the display going blank, it goes gray with several strange lines. When I hit the "shift" key or other-wise wake up the display, the old video state is not fully restored..." vesafb recently added a blank method which has only 2 states, powerup and powerdown. The powerdown state is used for all blanking levels, but in his case, powerdown does not work correctly for higher levels of display powersaving. Thus, for intermediate power levels, use software blanking, and use only hardware blanking for an explicit powerdown.

* [PATCH] SVGATextMode fixSamuel Thibault2005-10-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
