206380 07-Apr-2010 jkim

Correct beastie_saver module name.


206366 07-Apr-2010 jkim

Reconnect the old Beastie logo_saver to build as beastie_saver.


206365 07-Apr-2010 jkim

Copy logo_saver module to beastie_saver.


89260 11-Jan-2002 ru

Drop <bsd.man.mk> support from <bsd.kmod.mk>.

Not objected to by: -current


81325 09-Aug-2001 peter

Build modules from the main src/sys tree.
Tidy up some loose ends.. there were extra -I's being added to CFLAGS for
no reason.


70711 06-Jan-2001 obrien

Use a consistent style and one much closer to the rest of /usr/src


60966 27-May-2000 peter

Use .include <bsd.kmod.mk> to get to ../../*/conf/kmod.mk instead of
encoding the relative path.


59951 04-May-2000 peter

Pull in sys/conf/kmod.mk, rather than /usr/share/mk/bsd.kmod.mk.
This means that the kernel can be totally self contained now and is not
dependent on the last buildworld to update /usr/share/mk. This might
also make it easier to build 5.x kernels on 4.0 boxes etc, assuming
gensetdefs and config(8) are updated.


59874 01-May-2000 peter

Add $FreeBSD$

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.

- 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.


45616 12-Apr-1999 des

Centralize and reorganize a few macros.


43673 05-Feb-1999 des

Followup to yokota's last commit:

- va_mode_flags -> va_info.vi_flags
- scanline width may be different from screen width


42720 16-Jan-1999 des

Move the definition of set_origin from logo_saver.c to saver.h.


42504 11-Jan-1999 yokota

The first stage of console driver reorganization: activate new
keyboard and video card drivers.

Because of the changes, you are required to update your kernel
configuration file now!

The files in sys/dev/syscons are still i386-specific (but less so than
before), and won't compile for alpha and PC98 yet.

syscons still directly accesses the video card registers here and
there; this will be rectified in the later stages.


42236 01-Jan-1999 des

Use M_VGA_VG320 if M_VESA_CG800x600 is not available. It looks ugly in
low-res, but it works...

Submitted by: Ben Smithurst <ben@scientia.demon.co.uk>


42143 29-Dec-1998 peter

Add -I${.CURDIR} since it #includes logo.c from the source dir and breaks
when building with an obj dir.

Reported by: Quite a few people.. :-/


42120 28-Dec-1998 des

One more for the road: Chuck the friendly floating daemon. Requires
VESA_800x600 to run.
