fbdev: intelfb: add support for the Intel Integrated Graphics Controller 965G/965GM

2008-04-28T15:58:41Z

Add support for the 965G and 965GM graphic chipsets to the intelfb driver. I have a notebook with an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller and with the attached patch the framebuffer comes up. I have tested it a bit with DirectFB to make sure it is working stable. I also have an Intel Mobile GM945 and I compared the results, the programming interface of the 9xx series from Intel is mostly the same, so I think the patch should add all the functionality which the 945GM has.

lxfb: disable suspend VT switch by default

2008-04-28T15:58:39Z

By default disable VT switch, but allow it to be overridden via the 'vt_switch' module arg. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon Cc: "Antonino A. Daplas" Cc: Jordan Crouse Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

lxfb: rename kernel arg fbsize to vram

2008-04-28T15:58:39Z

Match other fb drivers (including gxfb). Also, document the current boot arguments in Documentation/fb/lxfb.txt. Signed-off-by: Andres Salomon Cc: "Antonino A. Daplas" Cc: Jordan Crouse Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

update modedb.txt documentation about mode_option parameter change

2008-04-28T15:58:37Z

Add names of drivers converted to "mode_option" parameter. This is one step toward changing all fb drivers to have common "mode_option" parameter. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt Cc: "Antonino A. Daplas" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

PM/gxfb: add hook to PM console layer that allows disabling of suspend VT switch

2008-04-28T15:58:36Z

Prior to suspend, we allocate and switch to a new VT; after suspend, we switch back to the original VT. This can be slow, and is completely unnecessary if the framebuffer we're using can restore video properly. This adds a hook that allows drivers to select whether or not to do this vt switch, and changes the gxfb driver to call this hook. It also adds a module param to gxfb to allow controlling of the vt switch (defaulting to no switch). (Note: I'm not convinced that console_sem is the best way to protect this, but we should probably have some form of locking..)

gxfb: replace FBSIZE config option with a module parameter

2008-04-28T15:58:36Z

Use a command line option (vram) rather than hardcoding the vram size. LxFB already does this; it's useful for machines that can't query the BIOS for fb size. This patch originated from David Woodhouse, was modified by Jordan Crouse, and was then modified further by me. This also adds some gxfb documentation in Documentation/fb.

fbdev: defio and Metronomefb

2008-03-20T01:53:37Z

Implement support for the E-Ink Metronome controller. It provides an mmapable interface to the controller using defio support. It was tested with a gumstix pxa255 with Vizplex media using Xfbdev and various X clients such as xeyes, xpdf, xloadimage. This patch also fixes the following bug: Defio would cause a hang on write access to the framebuffer as the page fault would be called ad-infinitum. It fixes fb_defio by setting the mapping to be used by page_mkclean. Signed-off-by: Jaya Kumar Cc: "Antonino A. Daplas" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

fb: defio nopage

2008-02-06T18:41:15Z

Convert fb defio from nopage to fault. Switch from OOM to SIGBUS if the resource is not available. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin Cc: "Antonino A. Daplas" Cc: Paul Mundt Cc: Jaya Kumar Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

typo fixes

2007-10-19T23:34:40Z

Most of these fixes were already submitted for old kernel versions, and were approved, but for some reason they never made it into the releases. Because this is a consolidation of a couple old missed patches, it touches both Kconfigs and documentation texts. Signed-off-by: Matt LaPlante Acked-by: Randy Dunlap Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk
