staging/solo6x10: depend on CONFIG_FONTS

2013-05-16T22:37:50+00:00

The new SOLO6X10 driver needs the built-in console fonts, specifically
the VGA8x16 font and building it without console support results in
a link error error.

drivers/built-in.o: In function `solo_osd_print':
 :(.text+0x7d3424): undefined reference to `find_font'

This adds a dependency on the CONFIG_FONTS symbol and changes the
console code to always build the base driver even if there are
no specific fonts built-in.

sparc: Kill PROM console driver.

2009-09-16T00:04:38+00:00

Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these
days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it
in any situation.

Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a
bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary.

If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of
depending upon this crutch to save us.  We've been able to take care
of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500)
so there are no excuses.

[VIDEO]: Fix section mismatch warning in promcon.

2007-06-05T06:52:45+00:00

Fix the following warnings in promcon:
WARNING: o-sparc64/drivers/video/console/built-in.o(.text+0x480): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:promfont_unitable (between 'promcon_init_unimap' and 'promcon_init')
WARNING: o-sparc64/drivers/video/console/built-in.o(.text+0x488): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:promfont_unitable (between 'promcon_init_unimap' and 'promcon_init')
WARNING: o-sparc64/drivers/video/console/built-in.o(.text+0x48c): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:promfont_unicount (between 'promcon_init_unimap' and 'promcon_init')
WARNING: o-sparc64/drivers/video/console/built-in.o(.text+0x490): Section mismatch: reference to .init.data:promfont_unicount (between 'promcon_init_unimap' and 'promcon_init')

The warnings happens because the function: promcon_init_unimap()
references promfont_unitable and promfont_unicount which are marked
__initdata by the conmakehash command in the drivers/video/console/Makefile

Fix the warning by removing the __initdata marker on the two variables.

[PATCH] fbcon: Console Rotation - Add support to rotate font bitmap

2005-11-09T15:56:34+00:00

Add support to rotate the font bitmap.  To save on processing time, the entire
fontdata will be rotated on a console switch, then stored in a buffer private
to fbcon.  To further save on processing, the fontdata will only be rotated if
the font has changed or if the angle of rotation has changed.  Only a single
copy of the rotated fontdata will be kept.

[PATCH] fbcon: Add rl (Roman Large) font

2005-11-07T15:53:52+00:00

I converted the "rl" console font from the kbd utility to be a built-in font
for the framebuffer console, and I was wondering if you would be OK with
including it.  I've generated a font_rl.c file and related minor
modifications.  I find it's the most visually appealing of the kbd fonts which
is why I use it and selected it for conversion.  I believe the font is GPL'd.

[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon

2005-11-07T15:53:50+00:00

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.
