The first stage of console driver reorganization: activate new

1999-01-11T03:18:56+00:00

keyboard and video card drivers.

Because of the changes, you are required to update your kernel
configuration file now!

The files in sys/dev/syscons are still i386-specific (but less so than
before), and won't compile for alpha and PC98 yet.

syscons still directly accesses the video card registers here and
there; this will be rectified in the later stages.

Make the VESA KLD module work!

The "easy" fixes for compiling the kernel -Wunused: remove unreferenced static

1998-12-07T21:58:50+00:00

and local variables, goto labels, and functions declared but not defined.

Yet another round of fixes for the VESA support code.

1998-10-01T11:39:18+00:00

- Express various sizes in bytes, rather than Kbytes, in the video
  mode and adapter information structures.
- Fill 0 in the linear buffer size field if the linear frame buffer
  is not available.
- Remove SW_VESA_USER ioctl. It is still experimetal and was not meant
  to be released.
- Fix missing cast operator.
- Correctly handle pointers returned by the VESA BIOS. The pointers
  may point to the area either in the BIOS ROM or in the buffer supplied
  by the caller.
- Set the destructive cursor at the right moment.

Cosmetic changes:

1998-09-26T03:38:40+00:00

- there were too many global variables (there still are :-).
- the data section was bloated by explicit initializations of static
  variables to 0 (only fixed the recently changed ones).
- WRAPHIST() had silly parentheses around foo->bar.
- the comment about inline functions was stale.
- the comment about Userconfig presumes too much about the boot environment.
- `i' was reused confusingly in scioctl().
- the declaration of `butmap' used a deprecated K&R misfeature.
- the initializeation of `butmap' had an unnecessary line break.
- `unsigned char' was not consistently (mis)spelled as u_char.
- English was poor in a comment in videoio.c.

- Use `u_long cmd' ioctl arg.

1998-09-26T03:34:10+00:00

- Fix some external function declaration.

Cosmetic change: adjust copyright notice.

Fix and update for VESA BIOS support in syscons.

1998-09-23T09:59:00+00:00

- Handle pixel (raster text) mode properly.
   - Clear screen and paint border right.
   - Paint text attribute (colors).
   - Fix off-by-one errors.
   - Add some sanity checks.
- Fix some function prototypes.
- Add some comment lines.
- Define generic text mode numbers so that the user can just give
  "80x25", "80x60", "132x25"..., rather than "VGA_xxx", to `vidcontrol'
  to change the current video mode.  `vidoio.c' and `vesa.c' will map
  these numbers to real video mode numbers appropriate and available
  with the given video hardware.  I believe this will be useful to make
  syscons more portable across archtectures.
