If you want to statically link the VESA support code to the kernel,
add the following option to the kernel configuration file.
options "VESA"
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.

not quite correct, because the Makefiles in lkm/syscons don't set up the
`machine' symlink, but other, more volatile headers in <machine> are
already used.
facilitate the new saver loading/unloading notification interface
in syscons.
daemon_saver:
- M_NOWAIT was wrong, since NULL returns are not handled. Just use
M_WAITOK.
- use `ostype' instead of hard-coded "FreeBSD". Now there is no more
hard-coded string! (But, who will run this screen saver on other
OS?!)
- put macros and data declarations in a consistent order.
- -DDEAMON_ONLY and -DSHOW_HOSTNAME options added in the previous commit
are removed. Options of this kind can go stale and no one notices
because no one uses them. DEAMON_ONLY is just removed. SHOW_HOSTNAME
is made default.
snake_saver:
- use `ostype' and `osrelease' as in the daemon saver. The string changes
slightly - there was a hyphen after "FreeBSD"; now there is a space.
(It is consistent with uname -a, like the daemon server already is.)
all screen savers:
- Use the new add_scrn_saver()/remove_scrn_saver() in syscons.c
to declare loading/unloading of a screen saver. Removed reference
to `current_saver' and the variable `old_saver' as they are not
necessary anymore.
- The blank, fade and green screen savers manipulate VGA registers.
Module loading should fail for non-VGA cards.
- `scrn_blanked' is consistently treated as a number/counter rather
than boolean.
- Some savers touch `scp->start' and `scp->end' to force entire screen
update when stopping themselves. This is unnecessary now because
syscons.c takes care of that.
- cleared up many unused or unnecessary #include statements.
- Removed -DLKM from Makefiles.
YOU NEED TO RECOMPILE BOTH SCREEN SAVERS AND KERNEL AS OF THIS CHANGE.
Use the name argument almost the same in all LKM types. Maintain
the current behavior for the external (e.g., modstat) name for DEV,
EXEC, and MISC types being #name ## "_mod" and SYCALL and VFS only
#name. This is a candidate for change and I vote just the name without
the "_mod".
Change the DISPATCH macro to MOD_DISPATCH for consistency with the
other macros.
Add an LKM_ANON #define to eliminate the magic -1 and associated
signed/unsigned warnings.
Add MOD_PRIVATE to support wcd.c's poking around in the lkm structure.
Change source in tree to use the new interface.

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.
from a string to an identifier so that it can be used to generate
declarations and strings. It's much easier to stringize an identifier
than to identifize a string. A uniform naming scheme must be used
for the automatically generated things to apply. This is a feature.
Used the module identifer to generate prototypes for the module load,
unload and stat functions. Removed the few prototypes for these that
already existed.
Used the module identifier to generate a unique struct tag in MOD_DEV().
This should probably be done for all the MOD_*() macros.
Moved the trailing semicolon from the MOD_*() macro definitions to the
macro invocations that didn't already (bogusly) have it.
Staticized the module load and unload functions.
Added function return types for the module load, unload and stat functions.

Symorder is enforcing this when the current bsd.kmod.mk is installed.
I've not tested all these, but at least they all compile now.
Reattach them to the makefile.
Note that the change that I made to symorder needs to be compiled and
installed before any LKM's will work - the last version was corrupting
the relocation tables. A "make world" will to this, but if you
manually run a make on the lkm's you'll need to take care of it by
hand.
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.
