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:-).
space address and use it where the mappings of the VGA card are registered
before descenting too deep into "memory" type specific code
(pci_mem_find() gets noisy if it doesn't like the register)
indicating an unhandled "command". ERESTART is -1, which can lead to
confusion. ERESTART has been moved to -3 and EPASSTHROUGH has been
placed at -4. No ioctl code should now return -1 anywhere. The
ioctl() system call is now properly restartable.
attach time. Allow access to these regions in vga_pci_mmap().
Note: we also have to allow access to the legacy ISA "hole" in
vga_pci_mmap(), since the X server needs to be able to read
the legacy BIOS on many cards.
XXX Need to address the PCI Expansion ROM.
