at the moment.
This includes the addition of two new wsdisplay ioctls, WSDISPLAY_{G,S}BORDER,
one to get the actual color and one to set it, respectively. Possible colors
match those defined by ANSI (and listed in wsdisplayvar.h).
It also adds two accessops to the underlying graphics device, getborder and
setborder, which mach their ioctl counterparts.
Two kernel options are added: WSDISPLAY_CUSTOM_BORDER, which enables the
ioctls described above (to customize the border color from userland after
boot), and WSDISPLAY_BORDER_COLOR, which sets the color at boot time.
The former is enabled by default on the GENERIC kernel, but not on INSTALL
(among others). The later is always commented out, leaving the usual black
border as a default.
wsconsctl is modified to allow accessing this value easily. For example,
'wsconsctl -d -w border=blue'.
to use generic VGA driver(s):
- Allow VGA drivers to use wsfont instead of builtin font.
- Add vga_reset() function, which will be called from MD consinit(),
to put VGA into text mode. This function is enabled by options VGA_RESET.
to char-cell based vga(4) driver, and fully compatible with existing
apps like XFree86. Currently it supports 80x25, 80x30, 80x40 and 80x50
text modes using emulation. You can enable it by specifying `options
VGA_RASTERCONSOLE' in your kernel config file.
Note that displaying multilingual text doesn't work yet. Necessary
code is already there, but userland stuff and some functionality isn't
ready for prime time yet. I'm working on them.
-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.
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
