MFC r316422:
Remove checks that background (bg) colors are not bright and buggy attempts to keep them that way. The bg brightness bit is interpreted as blinking in some modes, but it would barely be useful to disallow setting it when it would give blinking in code which knew when that is. The old code mostly knew this wrong, and added handling errors. It is in fact impossible to know, since future mode switches may change the meaning of the bit many times on the screen and in history.
Old versions of vidcontrol disallowed bg color numbers >= 8 in all cases. This is very VGA/syscons-centric. Syscons uses the VGA defaults of blinking fg instead of bright bg in text mode and bright bg in graphics mode. On VGA, this is very easy to toggle at any time, and vt blows away the VGA text mode default at boot time.
r146736 changed this to try to allow bg color numbers in graphics mode only. This is even more VGA/syscons-centric, and there are many bugs in this, and many nearby bugs in the parser. These are increased or decreased by differences and bugs in vt and teken.
Perhaps the most obvious bug was that almost any vidcontrol command which changes any color or the mode causes an error if the initial fg color is bright. E.g., in syscons text mode, after "vidcontrol lightwhite" to make the fg bright, another "vidcontrol lightwhite" is rejected and buggy fixup code changes the fg to white. This is because the bright fg color creates a bright bg color for the phantom reverse video attribute, so was rejected. (The reverse video attribute is phantom because teken ignores the user's setting of it and simply reverses the fg attributes to create the bg attributes. Sometimes some layer masks off the brightness/blinking bit, but not here.)
Perhaps the next most obvious one was that "vidcontrol lightgreen lightblue" was misparsed as 2 settings of the fg instead of 1 setting of the fg and 1 invalid setting of the bg. This is because the parser supports an undocumented syntax with many parsing bugs (an ambiguity gives this one).
I recently fix bugs in teken that broke setting of bright fg's and bg's in the normal way. This gave more settings of then, so the old bugs showed up more often. |

MFC r326276:
various: general adoption of SPDX licensing ID tags.
Mainly focus on files that use BSD 2-Clause license, however the tool I was using misidentified many licenses so this was mostly a manual - error prone - task.
The Software Package Data Exchange (SPDX) group provides a specification to make it easier for automated tools to detect and summarize well known opensource licenses. We are gradually adopting the specification, noting that the tags are considered only advisory and do not, in any way, superceed or replace the license texts.
No functional change intended. |

vidcontrol: skip invalid video modes returned by vt(4)
vt(4) has a stub CONS_MODEINFO ioctl that does not provide any data but returns success. This needs to be fixed in the kernel, but address it in vidcontrol(1) as well in case it's run on an older kernel.

vidcontrol: make size argument optional again for syscons
r273544 changed the -f option allow no arguments in vt mode (used to reset the font back to the default), but broke the optionality of the size argument for syscons. Drop the required argument from syscons' optstring for -f so the optional argument handler works the same way for both syscons and vt.

The vidcontrol command now accepts the following video mode names: VESA_132x25, VESA_132x43, VESA_132x50, VESA_132x60, VESA_800x600
The VESA_800x600 mode is a raster display mode. The 80x25 text will be displayed on the 800x600 screen. Useful for some laptop computers.
vidcontrol accepts the new `-i <info>' option, where <info> must be either `adapter' or `mode'. When the `-i adapter' option is given, vidcontrol will print basic information (not much) on the video adapter. When the `-i mode' option is specified, vidcontrol will list video modes which are actually supported by the video adapter.

Make the long-awaited change from $Id$ to $FreeBSD$
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!) avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been insane otherwise.

Next syscons update (given up on numbering :)
Removed screensavers from syscons, they are now LKM's. This makes it possible to do some really "interesting" screensavers... Fixed bug that sometimes caused garbage to appear when leaving "scroll-lock" history. Reformattet indentation, it got too deep for a normal 80 pos screen. Split up in syscons.c & syscons.h for use with the saver-lkm's. Temporarily removed -s option from vidcontrol, savers should now be loaded with modload.

Third round in syscons update.
Display update method changed, now allways write in memory buffer, then periodically update physical display. Speed improvements (now > 5 times faster than the old syscons). History now circular buffer, with changeable size. History scroll by up/down line, up/down page, home and end. Backtab proberly implemented. Now space for 96 function keys, 63 allocated standard, default now SCO/SYSV compat again as in the old days. New keyboard definition files ~share/syscons/keymaps/* Misc fixes for old "hacks" that broke SCO/SYSV compat. More that I forgot before writing this...

First round in syscons update. Several new features has been added:
No kernel config options anymore besides keyboard language layout. Virtual consoles are now dynamically allocated, no NCONS anymore. Software cursor blinking/nonblinking. Visual bell for laptops (don't beep at meetings :-). Cursor/bell default type setable via config "flags" instead of as defines. Cursor/bell type setable via ioctl's. New video modes 80x30 80x60 for some laptops, and those with multisync monitors. Scroll-lock history (length currently fixed at 100 lines). Lots of cleanups, some only commented out for now (will goaway soon). Support for new features in vidcontrol/kbdcontrol. Updated manpages.
