by the isa.c bus driver and the "address/whatever not specified"
argument passed to leaf device drivers.
The former is "ISACF_XXX_DEFAULT" as generaterd by config(8), the latter
"ISA_UNKNOWN_XXX", defined in isavar.h.
This way we save a dependency of every ISA device driver on "locators.h".
-treat the builtin font like any other font at runtime
-for that, copy it to malloc()'d memory during attach()
-in early console initialization, if we have to consider a broken card
(VGA_CONSOLE_ATI_BROKEN_FONTSEL), copy the builtin font to another
location in font ram; the attach() code will do the rest
put the "quirk" code into effect again
found on many (all?) of PCI-based ATI graphics cards. It is fully optional
and can be enabled by adding `options VGA_CONSOLE_ATI_BROKEN_FONTSEL'
to config file.
- Temporarily remove `quirk' mechanism. Similar code already exists
in pci_quirks.c.
make the number of available font slots variable,
set up a "quirk" mechanism to tell the generic vga code about crippled
VGA adapters which ignore the "fontsel" TS register,
initiate the quirk table with an ATI chip which happened to be on a board
I tested with.
Afaik quite a number of ATI chips suffers from the "loaded fonts don't
work" problem - these should be added.
Bad side effect of my change: The builtin font will be kicked out
always if a VGA_CONSOLE_SCREENTYPE is specified which needs a loaded
font. In early console initialization, we don't know much about the
graphics card, so we have to assume the worst (ie ATI:-).
configuration of devices logically attached to the ISA bus:
* Change the isa_attach_args to have arrays of io, mem, irq, drq
resources.
* Add a "pnpnames" and a linked list of "pnpcompatnames" to the
isa_attach_args. If either of these members are non-NULL,
direct configuration of the bus is being performed. Add an
ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() macro to test for this.
* Drivers are not allowed to modify the isa_attach_args unless
direct configuration is not being performed and the probe fucntion
is returning success.
* Adapt device drivers -- currently, all driver probe routines return
"no match" if ISA_DIRECT_CONFIG() evaluates to true.
