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.

Removed a redundant call to timeout() in do_bell().
Don't let blink_screen() write to the video buffer if the screen is in

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

1) i586_bcopy() problem
There have been a number of reports that the syscons doesn't work
properly if i586_bcopy() is enabled.
The problem prevented users from installing 2.2(.1)-RELEASE. The
symptom is that the system looks frozen during device probe or just
before the main installation menu. The workaround was to specify the
flag 0x01 to the npx device so that i586_bcopy() is disabled.
The patch forces the syscons to call generic_bcopy() when copying
to/from the video memory, even if CPU is Pentium and i586_bcopy() is
enabled. i586_bcopy() is still called for copy operations between
non-video memory regions.

2) video mode parameter table problem
The syscons reads and uses the video mode parameter table provided by
the VGA BIOS to set VGA registers when changing video mode and
modifying font data. It appears that in some VGA BIOSes the table is
not ordered as the syscons expects, and this leads to screen
corruption.
The problem prevented users from installing 2.2(.1)-RELEASE. The
symptom is the corrupt screen or strange vertical lines soon after the
kernel is loaded into memory (just after the kernel decompression).
The patch performs simplistic test and if it fails, set video_mode_ptr
to NULL so that the video mode switching won't happen.
This is an interim kludge. There should be a better way to deal with
the problem.

So far, there have been two independent reports from Dell Latitude XPi
notebook/laptop owners. The Latitude seems to be the only system which
suffers from this problem. (I don't know the problem is with the
entire Latitude line or with only some Latitude models) No problem
report has been heard about other systems (I certainly cannot
reproduce the problem in my -current and 2.2 systems).
In 3.0-CURRENT, 2.2-RELEASE and 2.2-GAMMA-970310, when programming the
keyboard LED/repeat-rate, `set_keyboard()' in `syscons' tells the
keyboard controller not to generate keyboard interrupt (IRQ1) and then
enable tty interrupts, expecting the keyboard interrupt doesn't occur.
It appears that somehow Latitude's keyboard controller still generates
the keyboard interrupt thereafter, and `set_keyboard()' doesn't see
the return code from the keyboard because it is consumed by the
keyboard interrupt handler.
The patch entirely disables tty interrupts while setting LED and
typematic rate in `set_keyboard()', making the routine behave more
like the previous versions of `syscons' (versions in 2.1.X and
2.2-ALPHA, -BETA, and some -GAMMAs). The reporter said this patch
eliminated the problem.

I have code to calibrate the overhead fairly accurately, but there
is little point in using it since it is most accurate on machines
where an estimate of 0 works well. On slow machines, the accuracy
of DELAY() has a large variance since it is limited by the resolution
of getit() even if the initial delay is calibrated perfectly.
Use fixed point and long longs to speed up scaling in DELAY().
The old method slowed down a lot when the frequency became variable.
Assume the default frequency for short delays so that the fixed
point calculation can be exact.
Fast scaling is only important for small delays. Scaling is done
after looking at the counter and outside the loop, so it doesn't
decrease accuracy or resolution provided it completes before the
delay is up. The comment in the code is still confused about this.
- don't uselessly initialize the fifo "DMA" bit at attach time.

- don't scale the fifo trigger level to 512 bytes. The driver's pseudo-

cur_console is NULL when copy_font() is first called from scinit(). This
is apparently harmless when scinit() is called early from sccninit() -
page 0 is apparently mapped r/w then, and 0->status contains suitable
garbage. However, when there is a serial console, scinit() is first
called from scattach() when the page tables are completely initialized,
so the NULL pointer causes a panic.

called early for console i/o. The timer is usually in BIOS mode
if it isn't explicitly initialized. Then it counts twice as fast
and has a max count of 65535 instead of 11932. The larger count
tended to cause infinite loops for delays of > 20 us. Such delays
are rare. For syscons and kbdio, DELAY() is only called early
enough to matter for ddb input after booting with -d, and the delay
is too small to matter (and too small to be correct) except in the
PC98 case. For pcvt, DELAY() is not used for small delays (pcvt
uses its own broken routine instead of the standard broken one),
but some versions call DELAY() with a large arg when they unnecessarily
initialize the keyboard for doing console output. The problem is
more serious for pcvt because there is always some early console
output.
Guard against the i8254 timer being partially or incorrectly
initialized. This would have prevented the endless loop.

1. All the suggestions earlier made by Bruce: renaming some symbols,
stricter error checking, removing redundant code, etc.
2. The `psm' driver preserves the default counter resolution and
report rate, whatever they are after reset. (Based on reports and
suggestion from Nate and Rob Bolin).
3. The `psm' driver now does not check the so-called sync. bit in the
first byte of the data packet by default, so that the tapping feature
of ALPUS GlidePoint works (based on reports from Louis Mamakos). I
tested the code with ALPUS Desktop GlidePoint (M/N GP101) and found
no problem; tapping worked. It appears ALPUS produces several models
of GlidePoint. I hope the other models are OK too.
The check code can still be activated by defining the PSM_CHECKSYNC
option in the config file. (The bit checking slightly reduces, if not
completely eliminates, weird mouse behavior cased by unsynchronized
mouse data packets. It also helps us to detect if the mouse interrupt
can ever be lost. But, well, if there are devices which cannot be
supported this way...)
4. The `psm' driver does not include the protocol emulation code by
default. The code can still be compiled in if the PSM_EMULATION option
is specified in the config file. Louis Mamakos suggests the emulation
code is putting too much in the kernel, and `moused' works well.
I will think about this later and decide if the entire emulation
code should be removed.
5. And, of course, the fix in `scprobe()' from Bruce to cure the
UserConfig problem. My code in `kbdio.c' is slightly different from
his patch, but has the same effect. There still is a possibility that
`scprobe()' gets confused, if, for whatever reasons, the user holds
down a key for very long time during the boot process. But we cannot
cope with everything, can we?

TIMER_FREQ.
Fixed missing splx() in scrn_timer(). The bug was harmless because of the
undocumented behaviour that the ipl is automatically restored for timeout
functions (see softclock()). Perhaps we should depend on this behaviour.
Fixed the ddb fix in rev.1.176. The in_debugger flag was no use because
it only works when the debugger is entered via the keyboard hotkey. The
debugger may be entered for breakpoints and traps, and the console putc
routine has no way of knowing when it was, so the console putc routine
must (almost?) always remove the cursor image.
Not fixed: console switching in ddb doesn't work (ISTR it working), and
console 0 shouldn't be switched to for the debugger hotkey unless console
0 is /dev/console.
Fixed side effects from calling add_keyboard_randomness() in the console
getc routine by not calling it. add_keyboard_randomness() currently
always reenables interrupts on 386's and 486's. This is very bad if the
console getc routine is called from the debugger and the debugger was
entered with interrupts disabled.
Fixed preservation of initial screen and now-bogus comment about it. It
was broken by setting the initial scr_buf to `buffer' instead of Crtat.

What was happening was that the server was doing a tcsetattr(.. TCSADRAIN)
on the mouse fd after a write. Since /dev/sysmouse had a null t_oproc,
the drain failed with EIO. Somehow this spammed XFree86 (!@&^#%*& binary
release!!), and the driver was left in a bogus state (ie: switch_in_progress
permanently TRUE).
The simplest way out was to implement a dummy scmousestart() routine to
accept any characters from the tty system and toss them into the void.
It would probably be more correct to intercept scwrite()'s to the mouse
device, but that's executed for every single write to the screen.
Supplying a start routine to eat the characters is only executed for the
mouse port during startup/shutdown, so it should be faster.
This enables other consumers of the mouse, to get it info via
moused/syscons.
In order to use it run moused (from sysconfig), and then tell
your Xserver that it should use /dev/sysmouse (mknod sysmouse c 12 128)
and it a mousesystems mouse. Everybody will be happy then :)
Remember that moused still needs to know what kind of mouse you
have..
Comments welcome, as is test results...
(A pointer to a const was misused to avoid loading loading the same

If you define this, it means your keyboard is actually probable using the
brain-dammaged probe routine in syscons, and if the keyboard is NOT found,
then you don't want syscons to activate itself further.
This makes life sane for those of us who use serial consoles most of the
time and want "the right thing" to happen when we plug a keyboard in.
