and released. It should use `spcl' consistently in both cases,
otherwise shift/control/alt state may not be correctly set/reset.
(Even with this fix, you can still make syscons confused and fail to
change internal state if you really want to, by installing a really
arcane and artificial keymap.)

cursor (CHAR_CURSOR)
1. Reduced the number of calls to set_destructive_cursor(). The
destructive cursor produced noticeable overhead on the system. It was
caused by draw_cursor_image() calling set_destructive_cursor() every
so often.
set_destructive_cursor() absolutely needs to be called when
a) the character code under the cursor has changed either because
the cursor moved or because the screen was updated or the mouse
pointer overlapped the cursor.
b) Or a new font has been loaded,
c) or the video mode has been changed,
d) or the cursor shape has been changed,
e) or the user switched virtual consoles.
2. Turn off the configuration flag CHAR_CURSOR (destructive cursor) in
scattach() if we have a non-VGA card. The destructive cursor works
only for VGA.
3. Removed redundant calls to set_destructive_cursor() in some places.
4. Fixed the "disappearing mouse pointer" problem. The mouse pointer
looked hidden under the destructive cursor when it overlaped the cursor.
A slightly different version of the patch was reviewd and OKed by
sos and ache.
Add a new configuration flag, KBD_NORESET (0x20) to tell scprobe() not
to reset the keyboard.
IBM ThinkPad 535 has the `Fn' key with which the user can perform
certain functions in conjunction with other keys. For example, `Fn' +
PageUP/PageDOWN adjust speaker volume, `Fn' + Home/End change
brightness of LCD screen. It can also be used to suspend the system.
It appears that these functions are implemented at the keyboard level
or the keyboard controller level and totally independent from BIOS or
OS. But, if the keyboard is reset (as is done in scprobe()), they
become unavailable. (There are other laptops which have similar
functions associated with the `Fn' key. But, they aren't affected by
keyboard reset.)
ThinkPad 535 doesn't have switches or buttons to adjust brightness and
volume, or to put the system into the suspend mode. Therefore, it is
essential to preserve these `Fn' key functions in FreeBSD. The new
flag make scprobe() skip keyboard reset.
If this flag is not set, scprobe() behaves in the same say as before.
(If we only knew a way to detect ThinkPad 535, we could skip keyboard
reset automatically, but...)

adapter during the system boot. It always assumes there is at least a
monochrome adapter.
This is rather strange assumption. If there is no dispaly adapter, the
console driver cannot be any good...
In this patch, scinit() is split into two parts; the first part is
now called scvidprobe() which will detect the presence of video card
at the CGA or MONO buffer address and returns TRUE if found. It is
called during sccnprobe() and scprobe(). Both will fail if no video
card is found.
The second part, whose name stays the same as before, scinit(), is
called from sccninit() and scattach() to complete initialization of
the found video card.
The keyboard probe code is moved from scprobe() to sckbdprobe();
scprobe() now calls scvidprobe() and sckbdprobe() to carry out device
probe. (This is rather a cosmetic change, but it sure makes the code
look better organized.)

changes relative to the 2.2 compatable version are include file
related, the new multicast interface (!) and the new PCI interface.
This should work "as-is" but has not been tested (I have not been able
to get a dc21x4x based card for testing).
- OVERRIDE_TUNER: allows you to manually choose the tuner type for those
cards that fail to probe properly. See source for legal
values.
- OVERRIDE_DBX: allows you to manually choose DBX or NO DBX for those

change that might be visible to drivers is, that the type pcici_t

should not be relied on), has been converted into a pcicfgregs* .

This code is by no means complete, but assumed to be fully operational,
and brings the official code base more in line with my development code.
A new generic device descriptor data type has to be agreed on. The PCI
code will then use that data type to provide new functionality:
1) userconfig support
2) "wired" PCI devices
3) conflicts checking against ISA/EISA
4) maps will depend on the command register enable bits
5) PCI to Anything bridges can be defined as devices,
and are probed like any "standard" PCI device.
The following features are currently missing, but will be added back,
soon:
1) unknown device probe message
2) suppression of "mirrored" devices caused by ancient, broken chip-sets
This code relies on generic shared interrupt support just commited to
kern_intr.c (plus the modifications of isa.c and isa_device.h).
1) Adjust NFRAMES from 16 to 8 per 16k of memory.
2) Acknowledge interrupts to the card early in the interrupt
handler before processing the event that caused the interrupt.
This frees the card to process addtional events instead of
waiting for the driver to finish handling events.
3) Changed the initialization of the transmit buffers to be a
loop so that the number of buffers can be more easily changed.
4) Moved the code to take the adapter out of loop back mode to just
before we enable the receiver.
I also made the driver dynamically size its resource arrays at attach
time so that we can take full advantage of adapters with more than 16k
of memory.
Richard has some other changes he's working on to improve performance,
but this should get ee16 support working reliably again.

full implementation of the sate machine as described in RFC1661, and
provides support for plugging in various control protocols. I needed
this to provide PPP support for the BISDN project (right now).
Unfortunatley, while the existing API was almost up to the point, i
needed one minor API change in order to decouple the this-layer-
started and this-layer-finished actions from the respective Up and
Down events of the lower layer. This requires two additional lines in
the attach routines of all existing lower layer interface drivers that
are using syncPPP (shortcutting these actions and events). Apart from
this, i believe i didn't change the API of all this, so everything
should plug in without too many hassles. Please report if i broke
something in the existing drivers.
For a list of features (including new ones like dial-on-demand), and
things still to be done, please refer to the man page i'll commit asap.

When an ioctl command SW_XXXX is issued, scioctl() checks if the font
appropriate for the specified mode is already loaded. The check was
correctly done for 8 line and 16 line fonts, but not for 14 line font.
The symbols FONT_8, FONT_14 and FONT_16 were defined as numbers but
were sometimes treated as bit flags. They are now defined as bit
flags.
2) screen blinking (two fixes)
Removed a redundant call to timeout() in do_bell().
Don't let blink_screen() write to the video buffer if the screen is in
the graphics (UNKNOWN) mode.
3) screen saver timeout
The ioctl command CONS_BLANKTIME sets the screen saver's timeout. The
value of zero will disable the screen saver. If the screen saver is
currently running it should be stopped.
4) border color and destructive cursor (two fixes)
The border color and the cursor type can be changed via escape
sequences. But only VGA can change the border color and set the
cursor type to destructive (CHAR_CURSOR) in the current syscons.
