347486bb10 intelfb: support i854
Support the Intel 854 Chipset in fbdev.

We test and use the patch on a Thomson IP1101 IPTV-Box.  On the VGA-Port
we get a normal signal.

Here is the link to the Mambux-Project: http://www.mambux.de

3f7a26b4b9 intelfb: support 945GME (as used in ASUS Eee 901)
Add support for Intel's 945GME graphics chip to the intelfb driver.  I
have assumed that the 945GME is identical to the already-supported 945GM
apart from its PCI IDs; this is based on a quick look at the X driver for
these chips which seems to treat them identically.

The 945GME is used in the ASUS Eee 901, and I coded this in the hope that
I'd be able to use it to get a console at the native 1024x600 resolution
which is not known to the BIOS.  I realised too late that the intelfb
driver does not support mode changing on laptops, so it won't be any
use for me.

0e170c72c0 fbdev: intelfb: add support for the Intel Integrated Graphics Controller 965G/965GM
Add support for the 965G and 965GM graphic chipsets to the intelfb driver.  I
have a notebook with an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics
Controller and with the attached patch the framebuffer comes up.  I have
tested it a bit with DirectFB to make sure it is working stable.

I also have an Intel Mobile GM945 and I compared the results, the programming
interface of the 9xx series from Intel is mostly the same, so I think the
patch should add all the functionality which the 945GM has.

MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a
function of the VT layer than the TTY one.  Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h
allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their
dependency on tty.h.

7649757bd9 intelfb: add vsync interrupt support
[03/05] intelfb: Implement basic interrupt handling

Functions have been added to enable and disable interrupts using the MMIO registers. Currently only pipe A vsync interrupts are enabled.
A generalized vsync accounting struct is defined, with the intent that it can encapsulate per-pipe vsync related info in the future. Currently a single instance is hard-coded.
The interrupt service routine currently only looks for vsync interrupts on pipe A, and increments a counter and wakes up anyone waiting on it.

This implementation is heavily influenced by similar implementations in the atyfb and matroxfb drivers.

There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

c465e05a03 [PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon
According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant.  The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit.  And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.

Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank.  For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.

The end result is a smaller code size.  And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

346e399b2a [PATCH] intelfb section fix
On Nov 16 2004 a change to intelfbdrv.c was commited (as part of 0.9.2 it
looks like) that added __initdata to all of the module param variables that
seems to create the opportunity for an oops.

I've recently been chasing an OOPS
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111552250920370&w=2) I
created by reading every file on the /sys file system and I've traced it
back to this code in the intelfbdrv.  Though I had root privs in my initial
problem report, it turns out they are un-necessary to generate the oops -
all you've got to do is "cat /sys/module/intelfb/parameters/mode" enough
times and eventually it will oops.

This is because sysfs automatically exports all module_param declarations
to the sysfs file system..  which means those variables can be dynamically
evaluated at any later time, which of course means marking them __initdata
is a bad idea ;)..  when they happen to be char *'s it is an especially bad
idea ;).

Applying the patch below clears up the OOPS for me.

14c6f52f60 [PATCH] intelfb: Remove intelfbdrv.h
Ingo Oeser noticed that all that intelfbdrv.h contains are prototypes for
static functions - and such prototypes don't belong into header files.

This patch therefore removes drivers/video/intelfb/intelfbdrv.h and moves the
prototypes to intelfbdrv.c .

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
