.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
module is a component of the
|
|
.Xr wscons 9
|
|
framework to provide machine-independent display support. Most of the
|
|
support is provided by the
|
|
.Xr wsdisplay 4
|
|
device driver, which must be a child of the hardware device driver.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The wscons display interface is complicated by the fact that there are
|
|
two different interfaces. The first interface corresponds to the
|
|
simple bit-mapped display which doesn't provide terminal-emulation and
|
|
console facilities. The second interface provides machine-independent
|
|
terminal emulation for displays that can support glass-tty terminal
|
|
emulations. These are character-oriented displays, with row and
|
|
column numbers starting at zero in the upper left hand corner of the
|
|
screen. Display drivers which cannot emulate terminals use the first
|
|
interface. In most cases, the low-level hardware driver can use the
|
|
.Xr rasops 9
|
|
interface to provide enough support to allow glass-tty terminal
|
|
emulation. If the display is not the console, terminal emulation does
|
|
not make sense and the display operates using the bit-mapped
|
|
interface.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The wscons framework allows concurrent displays to be active. It also
|
|
provides support for multiple screens for each display and therefore
|
|
allows a virtual terminal on each screen. Multiple terminal
|
|
emulations and fonts can be active at the same time allowing different
|
|
emulations and fonts for each screen.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Font manipulation facilities for the terminal emulation interface are
|
|
available through the
|
|
.Xr wsfont 9
|
|
module.
|
|
.Sh DATA TYPES
|
|
Display drivers providing support for wscons displays will make use
|
|
of the following data types:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width compact
|
|
.It Fa struct wsdisplay_accessops
|
|
A structure used to specify the display access functions invoked by
|
|
userland program which require direct device access, such as X11. All
|
|
displays must provide this structure and pass it to the
|
|
.Xr wsdisplay 4
|
|
child device. It has the following members:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|

void (*pollc)(void *, int);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa ioctl
|
|
member defines the function to be called to perform display-specific
|
|
ioctl calls. The
|

.Fa mmap
|
|
member defines the function for mapping a part of the display device
|
|
into user address space. The
|
|
.Fa alloc_screen
|
|
member defines a function for allocating a new screen which can be
|
|
used as a virtual terminal. The
|
|
.Fa free_screen
|
|
member defines a function for de-allocating a screen. The
|
|
.Fa show_screen
|
|
member defines a function for mapping a screen onto the physical
|
|
display. This function is used for between switching screens. The
|
|
.Fa load_font
|
|
member defines a function for loading a new font into the display.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa pollc
|
|
member defines a function for polling the console.
|
|

|
|

|
|
functions, which is passed to them when they are invoked.
|
|
.It Fa struct wsdisplaydev_attach_args
|
|

|
|
.It Fn wsdisplaydevprint "aux" "pnp"

|
|
(see
|
|
.Xr autoconf 9 ) .
|
|
.It Fn wsemuldisplaydevprint "aux" "pnp"

|
|
.Fn config_found .

(see

.El
|
|
.Sh AUTOCONFIGURATION
|
|
Display drivers which want to utilise the wsdisplay module must be a
|
|
parent to the
|
|
.Xr wsdisplay 4
|
|
device and provide an attachment interface. To attach the
|
|
.Xr wsdisplay 4
|
|
device, the display driver must allocate and populate a
|
|
.Fa wsdisplaydev_attach_args
|
|
structure with the supported operations and callbacks and call
|
|
.Fn config_found
|
|
to perform the attach (see
|
|
.Xr autoconf 9 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Display drivers which want to utilise the wscons terminal emulation
|
|
module must be a parent to the
|
|
.Xr wsdisplay 4
|
|
device and provide a
|
|
.Fa wsemuldisplaydev_attach_args
|
|
structure instead of the standard
|
|
.Fa wsdiaplaydev_attach_args
|
|
to
|
|
.Fn config_found
|
|
to perform the attach. If the display is not the console the
|
|
attachment is the same as wsdisplaydev_attach_args.
|
|
.Sh OPERATION
|
|
If the display belongs to the system console, it must be desribe the
|
|
default screen by invoking
|
|
.Fn wsdiplay_cnattach
|
|
at console attach time.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All display manipulation is performed by the wscons interface by using
|
|
the callbacks defined in the
|
|
.Em wsdisplay_accessops
|
|
structure. The
|
|
.Fn ioctl
|
|
function is called by the wscons interface to perform display-specific
|
|
ioctl operations (see
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2 ) .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa cmd to the
|
|
.Fn ioctl
|
|
function specifies the specific command to perform using the data
|
|
data. Valid commands are listed in
|
|
.Pa sys/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h .
|
|
Operations for terminal emulation are performed using the callbacks
|
|
defined in the
|
|
.Em wsdisplay_emulops
|
|
structure.
