Kazutaka YOKOTA cb1d2924c4 VESA BIOS support update in syscons.
- Accept generic video mode names: 80x25, 80x30, etc. Specific video
  mode names, VGA_80x25, VESA_132x25, are still accpeted too.
- Update the man page accordingly.

Søren Schmidt a8445737e7 Add VESA support to syscons.
Kazu writes:

The VESA support code requires vm86 support. Make sure your kernel
configuration file has the following line.
        options "VM86"
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.

Philippe Charnier 9396247ef7 Use err(3). Stylistic changes in man page. 1997-10-27 07:52:10 +00:00
Wolfram Schneider f62ae27537 Add ref to moused(8). 1997-07-24 23:46:35 +00:00
Brian Somers bfc214e329 Add a -s option for setting the current vty. This should make
life easier if a PS/2 mouse locks up the keyboard (frequent-ish,
but not repeatable).
Tidy up code (a bit) and make it -Wall

Is this a 2.2 candidate ? (although it doesn't -Wall in 2.2 because
of the lack of sys/sysproto.h

Søren Schmidt 17ee9d00bc Next syscons update (given up on numbering :)
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.

No kernel config options anymore besides keyboard language layout.
Virtual consoles are now dynamically allocated, no NCONS anymore.
Software cursor blinking/nonblinking.
Visual bell for laptops (don't beep at meetings :-).
Cursor/bell default type setable via config "flags" instead of as defines.
Cursor/bell type setable via ioctl's.
New video modes 80x30 80x60 for some laptops, and those with multisync monitors.
Scroll-lock history (length currently fixed at 100 lines).
Lots of cleanups, some only commented out for now (will goaway soon).
Support for new features in vidcontrol/kbdcontrol.
Updated manpages.
