2006-02-15	[PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank (v2)	Christian Trefzer	1	-3/+12
	There were two mistakes in the register-read-on-(un)blank approach. - First, without proper register (un)locking the value read back will always be zero, and this is what I missed entirely until just now. Due to this, the logic could not be verified at all and I tried some bogus checks which are completely stupid. - Second, the LCD status bit will always be set to zero when the backlight has been turned off. Reading the value back during unblank will disable the LCD unconditionally, regardless of the state it is supposed to be in, since we set it to zero beforehand. So this is what we do now: - create a new variable in struct neofb_par, and use that to determine whether to read back registers (initialized to true) - before actually blanking the screen, read back the register to sense any possible change made through Fn key combo - use proper neoUnlock() / neoLock() to actually read something - every call to neofb_blank() determines if we read back next time: blanking disables readback, unblanking (FB_BLANK_UNBLANK) enables it This should give us a nice and clean state machine. Has been thoroughly tested on a Dell Latitude CPiA / NM220 Chip docked to a C/Dock2 with attached CRT in all possible combinations of LCD/CRT on/off. I changed the config via Fn key, let the console blank, unblanked by keypress - works flawlessly. Signed-off-by: Christian Trefzer <ctrefzer@gmx.de> Cc: "Antonino A.

2006-02-14	[PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank	Christian Trefzer	1	-1/+7
	Fix issues with the NeoMagic framebuffer driver. It nicely complements my previous fix already in linus' tree. The only thing missing now is that the external CRT will not be activated at neofb init when external-only is selected, either by register read or module/kernel parameter. Testing was done on a Dell Latitude CPi-A/NM2200 chip. Previous behaviour: - before booting linux, set the preferred display config X via FN+F8 - boot linux, neofb stores the register values in a private variable - change the display config to Y via keystroke - leave the machine in peace until display is blanked - touching any key will result in display config X being restored - booting up, the BIOS will acknowledge config Y, though... Current behaviour: At the time of unblanking, config Y is honoured because we now read back register contents instead of just overwriting them with outdated values.

2006-01-14	[PATCH] neofb: take existing display configuration as default	Christian Trefzer	1	-1/+1
	On a Dell Latitude CPi-A I noticed a strangeness wrt. the handling of an external monitor by the neomagic framebuffer driver, namely when the laptop is docked in a C/Dock II with the lid shut. A cold boot would result in the BIOS configuring the video chip to use the "external monitor only" mode, yet neofb would default to "internal LCD only". An attempt for a quick fix by using the Fn-F8 keystroke to toggle the display combination modes resulted in a reproductible hard lock, powering down being the only solution. The attached patch makes neofb probe the register for the current display mode, using that value as a default if nothing was specified as kernel/module parameter.

2005-11-07	[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon	Antonino A. Daplas	1	-1/+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.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+2315
	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!
