The second phase of syscons reorganization.

1999-06-22T14:14:06Z

- Split syscons source code into manageable chunks and reorganize some of complicated functions. - Many static variables are moved to the softc structure. - Added a new key function, PREV. When this key is pressed, the vty immediately before the current vty will become foreground. Analogue to PREV, which is usually assigned to the PrntScrn key. PR: kern/10113 Submitted by: Christian Weisgerber - Modified the kernel console input function sccngetc() so that it handles function keys properly. - Reorganized the screen update routine. - VT switching code is reorganized. It now should be slightly more robust than before. - Added the DEVICE_RESUME function so that syscons no longer hooks the APM resume event directly. - New kernel configuration options: SC_NO_CUTPASTE, SC_NO_FONT_LOADING, SC_NO_HISTORY and SC_NO_SYSMOUSE. Various parts of syscons can be omitted so that the kernel size is reduced. SC_PIXEL_MODE Made the VESA 800x600 mode an option, rather than a standard part of syscons. SC_DISABLE_DDBKEY Disables the `debug' key combination. SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE Inverse the character cell at the mouse cursor position in the text console, rather than drawing an arrow on the screen. Submitted by: Nick Hibma (n_hibma@FreeBSD.ORG) SC_DFLT_FONT makeoptions "SC_DFLT_FONT=_font_name_" Include the named font as the default font of syscons. 16-line, 14-line and 8-line font data will be compiled in. This option replaces the existing STD8X16FONT option, which loads 16-line font data only. - The VGA driver is split into /sys/dev/fb/vga.c and /sys/isa/vga_isa.c. - The video driver provides a set of ioctl commands to manipulate the frame buffer. - New kernel configuration option: VGA_WIDTH90 Enables 90 column modes: 90x25, 90x30, 90x43, 90x50, 90x60. These modes are mot always supported by the video card. PR: i386/7510 Submitted by: kbyanc@freedomnet.com and alexv@sui.gda.itesm.mx. - The header file machine/console.h is reorganized; its contents is now split into sys/fbio.h, sys/kbio.h (a new file) and sys/consio.h (another new file). machine/console.h is still maintained for compatibility reasons. - Kernel console selection/installation routines are fixed and slightly rebumped so that it should now be possible to switch between the interanl kernel console (sc or vt) and a remote kernel console (sio) again, as it was in 2.x, 3.0 and 3.1. - Screen savers and splash screen decoders Because of the header file reorganization described above, screen savers and splash screen decoders are slightly modified. After this update, /sys/modules/syscons/saver.h is no longer necessary and is removed.

Keyboard driver update in preparation for the USB keyboard driver.

1999-03-10T10:36:53Z

- Refined internal interface in keyboard drivers so that: 1. the side effect of device probe is kept minimal, 2. polling mode function is added, 3. and new ioctl and configuration options are added (see below). - Added new ioctl: KDSETREPEAT Set keyboard typematic rate. There has existed an ioctl command, KDSETRAD, for the same purpose. However, KDSETRAD is dependent on the AT keyboard. KDSETREPEAT provides more generic interface. KDSETRAD will still be supported in the atkbd driver. - Added new configuration options: ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP Specify a keymap to be used as the default, built-in keymap. (There has been undocumented options, DKKEYMAP, UKKEYMAP, GRKEYMAP, SWKEYMAP, RUKEYMAP, ESKEYMAP, and ISKEYMAP to set the default keymap. These options are now gone for good. The new option is more general.) KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOADING Don't allow the user to change the keymap.

- Don't assume the line length in the video memory is always the same as

1999-02-05T11:52:13Z

the screen width. - Store the current video mode information in the `video_adapter' struct. - The size of the `v_offscreensize' field in the VESA mode information block is u_int16, not u_int8.

Update the alpha port to use the new syscons.

Merge with the latest i386 syscons.

1998-09-17T09:38:36Z

Port syscons to the alpha. The driver itself has moved to sys/isa as it will

1998-08-06T09:15:54Z

hopefully become a portable driver usable by all architectures. The api support files have had to be copied to sys/alpha/include since userland programs expect to find them in . All the revision history of the i386 syscons has been retained by a repository copy.

1. Reorganized screen saver related code so that both the LKM screen

saver and splash screen can all work properly with syscons. Note that the splash screen option (SC_SPLASH_SCREEN) does not work yet, as it requires additional code from msmith. - Reorganized the splash screen code to match the latest development in this area. - Delay screen switch in `switch_scr()' until the screen saver is stopped, if one is running, - Start the screen saver immediately, if any, when the `saver' key is pressed. (There will be another commit for `kbdcontrol' to support this keyword in the keymap file.) - Do not always stop the screen saver when mouse-related ioctls are called. Stop it only if the mouse is moved or buttons are clicked; don't stop it if any other mouse ioctls are called. 2. Added provision to write userland screen savers. (Contact me if you are interested in writing one.) - Added CONS_IDLE, CONS_SAVERMODE, and CONS_SAVERSTART ioctls to support userland screen savers. 3. Some code clean-ups.
