- Refined internal interface in keyboard drivers so that:
1. the side effect of device probe is kept minimal,
2. polling mode function is added,
3. and new ioctl and configuration options are added (see below).
- Added new ioctl: KDSETREPEAT
Set keyboard typematic rate. There has existed an ioctl command,
KDSETRAD, for the same purpose. However, KDSETRAD is dependent on
the AT keyboard. KDSETREPEAT provides more generic interface.
KDSETRAD will still be supported in the atkbd driver.
- Added new configuration options:
ATKBD_DFLT_KEYMAP
Specify a keymap to be used as the default, built-in keymap.
(There has been undocumented options, DKKEYMAP, UKKEYMAP, GRKEYMAP,
SWKEYMAP, RUKEYMAP, ESKEYMAP, and ISKEYMAP to set the default keymap.
These options are now gone for good. The new option is more general.)
KBD_DISABLE_KEYMAP_LOADING
Don't allow the user to change the keymap.

- Express various sizes in bytes, rather than Kbytes, in the video

- Fill 0 in the linear buffer size field if the linear frame buffer
is not available.
- Remove SW_VESA_USER ioctl. It is still experimetal and was not meant
to be released.
- Fix missing cast operator.
- Correctly handle pointers returned by the VESA BIOS. The pointers
may point to the area either in the BIOS ROM or in the buffer supplied
by the caller.
- Set the destructive cursor at the right moment.
- there were too many global variables (there still are :-).
- the data section was bloated by explicit initializations of static
variables to 0 (only fixed the recently changed ones).
- WRAPHIST() had silly parentheses around foo->bar.
- the comment about inline functions was stale.
- the comment about Userconfig presumes too much about the boot environment.
- `i' was reused confusingly in scioctl().
- the declaration of `butmap' used a deprecated K&R misfeature.
- the initializeation of `butmap' had an unnecessary line break.
- `unsigned char' was not consistently (mis)spelled as u_char.
- English was poor in a comment in videoio.c.

- Handle pixel (raster text) mode properly.
- Clear screen and paint border right.
- Paint text attribute (colors).
- Fix off-by-one errors.
- Add some sanity checks.
- Fix some function prototypes.
- Add some comment lines.
- Define generic text mode numbers so that the user can just give
"80x25", "80x60", "132x25"..., rather than "VGA_xxx", to `vidcontrol'
to change the current video mode. `vidoio.c' and `vesa.c' will map
these numbers to real video mode numbers appropriate and available
with the given video hardware. I believe this will be useful to make
syscons more portable across archtectures.

The VESA support code requires vm86 support. Make sure your kernel

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

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.

saver and splash screen can all work properly with syscons. Note that
the splash screen option (SC_SPLASH_SCREEN) does not work yet, as it
requires additional code from msmith.
- Reorganized the splash screen code to match the latest development
in this area.
- Delay screen switch in `switch_scr()' until the screen saver is
stopped, if one is running,
- Start the screen saver immediately, if any, when the `saver' key is
pressed. (There will be another commit for `kbdcontrol' to support
this keyword in the keymap file.)
- Do not always stop the screen saver when mouse-related ioctls
are called. Stop it only if the mouse is moved or buttons are
clicked; don't stop it if any other mouse ioctls are called.
2. Added provision to write userland screen savers. (Contact me if you
are interested in writing one.)
- Added CONS_IDLE, CONS_SAVERMODE, and CONS_SAVERSTART ioctls to
support userland screen savers.
3. Some code clean-ups.

FreeBSD/alpha. The most significant item is to change the command
argument to ioctl functions from int to u_long. This change brings us
inline with various other BSD versions. Driver writers may like to
use (__FreeBSD_version == 300003) to detect this change.
The prototype FreeBSD/alpha machdep will follow in a couple of days

- Set the correct value scp->font_size in init_scp().
- Set scp->font_size to FONT_NONE for VGA_MODEX.
Interim fix for a font problem:
- A kludge to display the correct font on some video cards.
We should be able to load multiple fonts to the VGA plane #2 and switch
between fonts by setting the font select register in the VGA sequencer.
It appears that the current code isn't functioning as expected on
some VGA cards (I have reports on Millenium and Mach64 cards). This is
either a bug in syscons or a hardware compatibility problem ;-<
This kludge will always load only one font set at a time and always use
the font page #0 on the plane #2. It is an interim kludge until
we find the exact cause and solution.
Small adjustment for mouse cursor handling:
- Turn off the mouse cursor early when changing video modes.
Video mode switch fixes:
- Stop the screen saver when changing video modes.
- Enclose the critical section with a pair of spltty()/splx().
- A kludge to prevent scrn_update() from accessing video memory in less-
critical sections in video mode change; artificially turn on the
UNKNOWN_MODE flag.

this using option "-b" to the boot blocks. It is smartest to compile
a font into your kernel (See LINT), but not mandatory, but apart from
the cursor you will see nothing on the screen until you load a font.
This mode allows XF86_VGA16 to run in 800x600 mode on otherwise unsupported
graphics hardware.
A number of buglets in the cursor handling in syscons may become
visible this way.

- A kludge: initialize scp->xpixel and ypixel even in the text mode.
If the console enters the `unknown' graphics mode via the ioctl KDSETMODE
(KD_GRAPHICS), these fields are not set (because syscons cannot know
the correct values), but set_mouse_pos() need to refer to these field
to adjust the mouse position.
- Turn off MOUSE_VISIBLE when switching video mode by ioctl.
- another new option: SC_MOUSE_CHAR
Define the first character code of four consecutive codes to be used for
the mouse cursor. Default codes are 0xd0 through 0xd3. Beware that
if you decide to use any codes outside the range of 0xc0-0xdf,
the mouse cursor may not look good, because of the way VGA displays
characters in 9-dot-wide character cells.
