# 267654 19-Jun-2014 gjb

Copy stable/9 to releng/9.3 as part of the 9.3-RELEASE cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)
Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

# 225736 22-Sep-2011 kensmith

Copy head to stable/9 as part of 9.0-RELEASE release cycle.

Approved by: re (implicit)


# 146476 21-May-2005 marius

Remove superfluous braces and add #ifndef __sparc64__ around the
VTB_FRAMEBUFFER specific code. On sparc64 we don't use a buffer of
type VTB_FRAMEBUFFER (see syscons.c) and excluding the respective
code here allows to compile syscons(4) without isa(4).

Requested by: joerg, marcel, yongari


# 119420 24-Aug-2003 obrien

Use __FBSDID().
Also some minor style cleanups.


# 111119 19-Feb-2003 imp

Back out M_* changes, per decision of the TRB.

Approved by: trb


# 109623 21-Jan-2003 alfred

Remove M_TRYWAIT/M_WAITOK/M_WAIT. Callers should use 0.
Merge M_NOWAIT/M_DONTWAIT into a single flag M_NOWAIT.


# 102241 21-Aug-2002 archie

Don't use "NULL" when "0" is really meant.


# 78956 29-Jun-2001 yokota

Don't free buffers we didn't allocate.
MFC after: 2 weeks


# 66834 08-Oct-2000 phk

Initiate deorbit burn sequence for <machine/console.h>.

Replace all in-tree uses with necessary subset of <sys/{fb,kb,cons}io.h>.
This is also the appropriate fix for exo-tree sources.

Put warnings in <machine/console.h> to discourage use.
November 15th 2000 the warnings will be converted to errors.
January 15th 2001 the <machine/console.h> files will be removed.


# 65176 28-Aug-2000 dfr

* Completely rewrite the alpha busspace to hide the implementation from
the drivers.
* Remove legacy inx/outx support from chipset and replace with macros
which call busspace.
* Rework pci config accesses to route through the pcib device instead of
calling a MD function directly.

With these changes it is possible to cleanly support machines which have
more than one independantly numbered PCI busses. As a bonus, the new
busspace implementation should be measurably faster than the old one.


# 56836 29-Jan-2000 peter

Use config's conditional compilation rather than using #ifdefs that make
modular compilation harder. I'm doing this because people seem to like
cut/pasting examples of bad practices in existing code.


# 56043 15-Jan-2000 yokota

This is the 3rd stage of syscons code reorganization.

- Split terminal emulation code from the main part of the driver so
that we can have alternative terminal emulator modules if we like in
the future. (We are not quite there yet, though.)

- Put sysmouse related code in a separate file, thus, simplifying the
main part of the driver.

As some files are added to the source tree, you need to run config(8)
before you compile a new kernel next time.

You shouldn't see any functional change by this commit; this is only
internal code reorganization.

# 48189 24-Jun-1999 yokota

Fix ESC[P (delete N chars) and ESC[@ (insert N chars). These deletion
and insertion should affect the line the cursor is on only.

This change should have been committed together with syscons.c rev 1.308.
(I forgot to do so, when I committed syscons.c :-(

# 48104 22-Jun-1999 yokota

The second phase of syscons reorganization.

- 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 <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>

- 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.

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.
