This allows to use lower resolution screen modes with black border.
Added a set of TODOs :
* The smaller scren is not centered, but aligned top-left
* The base resolution used is the one reported from edid 1.1, because I'm still not sure how to parse EDID 1.2. This resolution is too small on my laptop, but it works.
Also added two ways of setting 8-to-6 dithering for 18-bit LVDS panel. No visible result for me, unfortunately.

Supports Banshee, Voodoo3 and Voodoo5 chips.
It will be promoted as older tdfx replacement soon, but not until
my small changes around phys_addr_t are validated.

map_physical_memory()'s physicalAddress parameter type from void* to
phys_addr_t. This breaks source compatibility, but -- as long as
phys_{addr,size}_t remain 32 bit wide -- keeps binary compatibility with
BeOS.
* Adjusted all code using the affected interfaces (Oh what fun!). Added a few
TODOs in places where the wrong types (e.g. void* for physical addresses
are used). Looks like quite a few drivers aren't 64 bit safe and others
will break with PAE.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@36960 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* added header for dealing with binary numbers and bitmasks (C++ templates)
these "macro's" might not work well for long words, though

I've now removed that code, and factored out a retrieve_current_mode()
function that can work on head A and B.
* This fixes Adrien's flickering problem on his laptop - I can't find the
bug ticket, though. Hopefully it does not break other laptop chips. Testing
would be welcome, as I don't have any other machine here.

device is not compatible, after all.
* No longer accept color changes if the mode is not an 8 bit one. I think that
BWindowScreen does that after changing the mode, so that is messes up the
colors, at least that's the theory, will test on real iron now.
* Use VGA as a fallback if setting the palette via VBE failed. This brings back
the colors for ParticlesII in Qemu (but not in VirtualBox, which seems to be
completely broken in this regard).

* The vesa driver no longer uses VGA programming if the chip does not support
VGA compatibility.
* The VESA driver now tries to set the DAC to 8 bits per color gun.
* In VESA modes, the driver no longer tries to use VGA programming; introduced
the new vesa_set_indexed_colors() that is now used for palette programming.
This should fix wrong colors of 8 bit BWindowScreen users with VESA on real
hardware (emulators usually didn't mind either way).
* Note that the app_server needs to maintain a palette per 8 bit screen, as
right now, the colors are garbled after a workspace switch. Stefano, are you
looking into that already?

be broken in the app_server now, but I haven't checked yet.
* Fixed typo in vesa.h.

mode informations are available.
* This is passed to the graphics card when the mode is set in the hopes that it
will be more conforming.
* Not yet tested on real hardware, though, therefore the VESA driver doesn't
do anything like this yet. I will test next, but please report any problems
with this nonetheless.

* The hardware cursor is now disabled at 640x480 with a Virge VX (before it
was just invisible).
* EDID info can now be read for all S3 chips.
* For the Savage IX, Savage MX, and SuperSavage chips the display is no
longer expanded to fill a laptop LCD display when the mode resolution is
less than the size of LCD display.
* Savage IX, Savage MX, and SuperSavage chips will now display mode
1400x1050 on a 1400x1050 laptop LCD display. Previously the display was
blank at that resolution.
* Previously about half the Savage chips would not draw properly at
1400x1050. That is, the image was badly skewed and unusable. All of
them now draw properly at 1400x1050.
* Some code was reorganized to remove unnecessary and redundant code.

be put into a boot_item in frame_buffer_console_init().
* The VESA driver now supports gettings the EDID information as well; this
is necessary now, since the app_server no longer takes over the mode the
boot loader had chosen.
* Note, we might want to do this via vm86 instead in the future, and remove
the kernel part again.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@25786 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Use vm86 mode to call the VESA BIOS to do the actual mode switching by
providing an ioctl in the vesa driver.
* Fix vm86.h.

Gerald Zajac. Thanks a lot!
* Also put it on the image by default.

we now always only use the primary ring buffer.
* Removed secondary ring buffer allocation and member fields.
* Increased size of the primary ring buffer to 65536 bytes.
* The bytes per row register is computed differently for 9xx chips.
* On G33, the overlay does not need a physical address anymore, so we
don't pass B_APERTURE_NEED_PHYSICAL to the allocation anymore for that
device.
* intel_free_memory() accidently added the aperture base to the allocation
and would therefore never free any memory.
* INTEL_RING_BUFFER_SIZE_MASK was shifted one bit to the right, didn't
cause any harm with our buffer sizes, yet, though.
* With these changes, the driver runs stable on a G33 chipset (I have not
yet tested the hardware cursor, though, it might need some work, too).
The only known issue left is that overlay flickers a bit if its buffer
is partially backed up by reserved and allocated memory.

* Removed "physical" parameter of GART's bind_aperture() - I don't think this
be of use to anyone.
* Fixed binding/unbinding pages in the Intel GART driver; I accidently shifted
the page offset twice.
* Actually forgot handling of allocated memory in Aperture::BindMemory().
* Minor cleanup.
git-svn-id: file:///srv/svn/repos/haiku/haiku/trunk@23796 a95241bf-73f2-0310-859d-f6bbb57e9c96
* Now uses the AGP GART module for memory management. This greatly simplifies
the memory handling, and memory is now actually allocated on demand,
instead of a fixed size (stolen memory is not freed, though).
* The Intel GART module should now also work with older chipsets.
* No longer remove the GTT size from the stolen memory; this appears to have
been a mistake in the X driver. Not sure about the BIOS popup yet.
* The AGP module (in combination with the Intel GART module) is now mandatory
to use the Intel driver.
* Removed now superfluous settings (like memory size). Only enabling/disabling
the hardware cursor is still supported.

* It now also serves as a generic GART manager and accepts bus modules as well
as custom modules of graphics drivers if they want to (could be used for the
Radeon PCI GART stuff, for example).
* Implemented GART support module for Intel i965 and G33 chipsets (the other
Intel chips will come later).
* Renamed agp bus manager to agp_gart to reflect its new functionality (even
though the AGP functionality is already outdated (due to PCIe), the GART
stuff remains current).
* Adapted existing users of the AGP bus manager to the API changes.
* Not very well tested yet...
