-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:-).
calls
-support use of 2 fonts simultanously; this costs the ability to
"highlight", ie to use the upper 8 colours
-define screen types "80x25bf" and "80x50bf" which use this ability
-add conditional code to deal with the weird mapping of pcvt's
supplemental fonts
