redundant initializations.
Hard-code base = 0, height = (approx. 1/8 of the boot-time font height)
in all cases, and remove the BIOS/MD support for setting these values.
This asks for an underline cursor sized for the boot-time font instead
of various less hard-coded but worse values. I used that think that
the x86 BIOS always gave the same values as the above hard-coding, but
on 1 of my systems it gives the wrong value of base = 1.
The remaining BIOS fields are shift_state and bell_pitch. These are now
consistently not explicitly reinitialized to 0. All sc_get_bios_value()
functions except x86's are now empty, and the only useful thing that x86
returns is shift_state. This really belongs in atkbdc, but heavier
use of the BIOS to read the more useful typematic rate has been removed
there. fb still makes much heavier use of the BIOS.
- Enable keyboard autodetection by default for ISA syscons attachments.
- If there are no syscons hints at all, assume there is a single sc0 device
anyway. The console probe will still fail unless a VGA adapter is found.
MFC after: 2 weeks
The timer_spkr_*() functions take care of the enabling/disabling
of the speaker.
Test on the existence of timer_spkr_*() functions, rather than
architectures.
these days, so de-generalize the acquire_timer/release_timer api
to just deal with speakers.
The new (optional) MD functions are:
timer_spkr_acquire()
timer_spkr_release()
and
timer_spkr_setfreq()
the last of which configures the timer to generate a tone of a given
frequency, in Hz instead of 1/1193182th of seconds.
Drop entirely timer2 on pc98, it is not used anywhere at all.
Move sysbeep() to kern/tty_cons.c and use the timer_spkr*() if
they exist, and do nothing otherwise.
Remove prototypes and empty acquire-/release-timer() and sysbeep()
functions from the non-beeping archs.
This eliminate the need for the speaker driver to know about
i8254frequency at all. In theory this makes the speaker driver MI,
contingent on the timer_spkr_*() functions existing but the driver
does not know this yet and still attaches to the ISA bus.
Syscons is more tricky, in one function, sc_tone(), it knows the hz
and things are just fine.
In the other function, sc_bell() it seems to get the period from
the KDMKTONE ioctl in terms if 1/1193182th second, so we hardcode
the 1193182 and leave it at that. It's probably not important.
Change a few other sysbeep() uses which obviously knew that the
argument was in terms of i8254 frequency, and leave alone those
that look like people thought sysbeep() took frequency in hertz.
This eliminates the knowledge of i8254_freq from all but the actual
clock.c code and the prof_machdep.c on amd64 and i386, where I think
it would be smart to ask for help from the timecounters anyway [TBD].
i8253reg.h, and add some defines to control a speaker.
- Move PPI related defines from i386/isa/spkr.c into ppireg.h and use them.
- Move IO_{PPI,TIMER} defines into ppireg.h and timerreg.h respectively.
- Use isa/isareg.h rather than <arch>/isa/isa.h.
Tested on: i386, pc98
because it was mostly irrelevant - except for the silly BIOS_PADDRTOVADDR
etc macros. Along the way of working around this, I missed a few things.
* Make syscons properly inherit the bios capslock/shiftlock/etc state like
i386 does. Note that we cannot inherit the bios key repeat rate because
that requires a bios call (which is impossible for us).
* Give syscons the ability to beep on amd64. Oops.
While here, make bios.c compile and add it to files.amd64.
disabled.
- Change the apm driver to match the acpi driver's behavior by checking to
see if the device is disabled in the identify routine instead of in the
probe routine. This way if the device is disabled it is never created.
Note that a few places (ips(4), Alpha SMP) used "disable" instead of
"disabled" for their hint names, and these hints must be changed to
"disabled". If this is a big problem, resource_disabled() can always be
changed to honor both names.
Replace all in-tree uses with necessary subset of <sys/{fb,kb,cons}io.h>.
This is also the appropriate fix for exo-tree sources.
Put warnings in <machine/console.h> to discourage use.
November 15th 2000 the warnings will be converted to errors.
January 15th 2001 the <machine/console.h> files will be removed.
options USERCONFIG being present. Due to the lack of early boot hints
neither sio or sc would succeed the console probe. If USERCONFIG was
active, there was a second cninit() after userconfig had run and that
happened to make the console selection work. If you left out USERCONFIG,
you would end up with no console at all. :-(
This needs a proper fix, especially when sc looses the "at isa" hint.
But for now, this works.
- Split syscons source code into manageable chunks and reorganize
some of complicated functions.
- Many static variables are moved to the softc structure.
- Added a new key function, PREV. When this key is pressed, the vty
immediately before the current vty will become foreground. Analogue
to PREV, which is usually assigned to the PrntScrn key.
PR: kern/10113
Submitted by: Christian Weisgerber <naddy@mips.rhein-neckar.de>
- Modified the kernel console input function sccngetc() so that it
handles function keys properly.
- Reorganized the screen update routine.
- VT switching code is reorganized. It now should be slightly more
robust than before.
- Added the DEVICE_RESUME function so that syscons no longer hooks the
APM resume event directly.
- New kernel configuration options: SC_NO_CUTPASTE, SC_NO_FONT_LOADING,
SC_NO_HISTORY and SC_NO_SYSMOUSE.
Various parts of syscons can be omitted so that the kernel size is
reduced.
SC_PIXEL_MODE
Made the VESA 800x600 mode an option, rather than a standard part of
syscons.
SC_DISABLE_DDBKEY
Disables the `debug' key combination.
SC_ALT_MOUSE_IMAGE
Inverse the character cell at the mouse cursor position in the text
console, rather than drawing an arrow on the screen.

SC_DFLT_FONT
makeoptions "SC_DFLT_FONT=_font_name_"
Include the named font as the default font of syscons. 16-line,
14-line and 8-line font data will be compiled in. This option replaces
the existing STD8X16FONT option, which loads 16-line font data only.
- The VGA driver is split into /sys/dev/fb/vga.c and /sys/isa/vga_isa.c.
- The video driver provides a set of ioctl commands to manipulate the
frame buffer.
- New kernel configuration option: VGA_WIDTH90
Enables 90 column modes: 90x25, 90x30, 90x43, 90x50, 90x60. These
modes are mot always supported by the video card.

Submitted by: kbyanc@freedomnet.com and alexv@sui.gda.itesm.mx.
- The header file machine/console.h is reorganized; its contents is now
split into sys/fbio.h, sys/kbio.h (a new file) and sys/consio.h
(another new file). machine/console.h is still maintained for
compatibility reasons.
- Kernel console selection/installation routines are fixed and
slightly rebumped so that it should now be possible to switch between
the interanl kernel console (sc or vt) and a remote kernel console
(sio) again, as it was in 2.x, 3.0 and 3.1.
- Screen savers and splash screen decoders
Because of the header file reorganization described above, screen
savers and splash screen decoders are slightly modified. After this
update, /sys/modules/syscons/saver.h is no longer necessary and is
removed.
i386 platform boots, it is no longer ISA-centric, and is fully dynamic.
Most old drivers compile and run without modification via 'compatability
shims' to enable a smoother transition. eisa, isapnp and pccard* are
not yet using the new resource manager. Once fully converted, all drivers
will be loadable, including PCI and ISA.
(Some other changes appear to have snuck in, including a port of Soren's
ATA driver to the Alpha. Soren, back this out if you need to.)
This is a checkpoint of work-in-progress, but is quite functional.
The bulk of the work was done over the last few years by Doug Rabson and
Garrett Wollman.
