Currently when going from vgacon to fbcon the VT screenbuffer are often
different sizes. In the case when they are different sizes a new VT
screenbuffer is allocated and the contents are copied into the new buffer.
Currently the amount copied from VGA text memory to the new screenbuf is
the size of the framebuffer console. If the framebuffer console new VT
screen buffer is greater than the VGA text memory size then we get some of
the VGA BIOS contents as well.
This patch will only allow you to copy up to the size of VGA text memory
now. The rest is filled with erase characters.

Since no one is using the inbuf, outbuf of struct fb_pixmap I removed their
use in the framebuffer console. The idea is instead move the pixmap
functionality below the accelerated functions intead of on top as the way
it is now. If there is no objection please apply. This is against Linus

s1d13xxxfb_remove() is referenced from s1d13xxxfb_probe(), which is marked
__devinit(). So s1d13xxxfb_remove() cannot be marked __devexit.
Does this all make sense? Clearly the __devexit section will still be in
core when the __devinit code is run, if the driver was loaded as a module.
But I suppose that if the driver is statically linked, the __devexit section
might be dropped early in boot. Still, we wouldn't drop __devexit prior to
initcall completion, at which point the __devinit code has all been run
anyway.
verdict: this code was legal and made sense. Is this a generic problem, or an
arm-specific problem?

The current radeonfb memset's the framebuffer to 0 when loaded. This
removes occasional artifacts but has the nasty side effect that if you
load radeonfb without framebuffer console, you destroy the VGA text
buffer, font, etc... radeon must not touch the framebuffer content when
it doesn't "own" it.

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.

I have recompiled Linux kernel 2.6.11.5 documentation for me and our
university students again. The documentation could be extended for more
sources which are equipped by structured comments for recent 2.6 kernels. I
have tried to proceed with that task. I have done that more times from 2.6.0
time and it gets boring to do same changes again and again. Linux kernel
compiles after changes for i386 and ARM targets. I have added references to
some more files into kernel-api book, I have added some section names as well.
So please, check that changes do not break something and that categories are
not too much skewed.
I have changed kernel-doc to accept "fastcall" and "asmlinkage" words reserved
by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

When allocating a new VC with vgacon_init(), the font is shared across all
the VGA consoles. However, the font mask was always set to the default
value of zero in visual_init(), even if we were using 512 character fonts
at the time.
Moreover, code in vgacon.c:vga_do_font_op() didn't reset the mask if the
console driver thinks it's already in 512 character mode. This means that
to *fix* it, you'd actually have to take the console out of 512 character
mode and then set it back.
The attached sets vc_hi_font_mask in vgacon_init() for any new consoles
opened if the vgacon driver is already in 512 character mode, solving this.
This bug goes back to 2.4.18 at least, probably earlier.

this is a set of fixes to make TCX functional on the console again. Adds

Also looks for the correct SUNW,tcx prom value.

My previous patch that added sleep support for uninorth-agp and some AGP
"off" stuff in radeonfb and aty128fb is breaking some configs. More
specifically, it has problems with rage128 setups since the DRI code for
these in X doesn't properly re-enable AGP on wakeup or console switch
(unlike the radeon DRM).
This patch fixes the problem for pmac once for all by using a different
approach. The AGP driver "registers" special suspend/resume callbacks with
some arch code that the fbdev's can later on call to suspend and resume
AGP, making sure it's resumed back in the same state it was when suspended.
This is platform specific for now. It would be too complicated to try to
do a generic implementation of this at this point due to all sort of weird
things going on with AGP on other architectures. We'll re-work that whole
problem cleanly once we finally merge fbdev's and DRI.
In the meantime, please apply this patch which brings back some r128 based
laptops into working condition as far as system sleep is concerned.

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!
