2005-11-07	[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon	Antonino A. Daplas	2	-2/+0
	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.

2005-09-09	[PATCH] fbdev: geode updates	David Vrabel	4	-54/+143
	Geode framebuffer driver updates: - Local mode list (taken from modedb.c) containing only relevant modes. This also makes the driver work as a module. - Make it a PCI driver (from James Simmons <jsimmons@infradead.org>). - A few other minor cosmetic bits and pieces.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	8	-0/+1070
	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!
