1. Add new interface, add_scrn_saver()/remove_scrn_saver(), to declare
loading/unloading of a screen saver. The screen saver calls these
functions to notify syscons of loading/unloading events.
It was possible to load multiple savers each of which will try to
remember the previous saver in a local variable (`old_saver'). The
scheme breaks easily if the user load two savers and unload them in a
wrong order; if the first saver is unloaded first, `old_saver' in the
second saver points to nowhere.
Now only one screen saver is allowed in memory at a time.
Soeren will be looking into this issue again later. syscons is
becoming too heavy. It's time to cut things down, rather than adding
more...
2. Make scrn_timer() to be the primary caller of the screen saver
(*current_saver)(). scintr(), scioctl() and ansi_put() update
`scrn_time_stamp' to indicate that they want to stop the screen saver.
There are three exceptions, however.
One is remove_scrn_saver() which need to stop the current screen saver
if it is running. To guard against scrn_timer() calling the saver during
this operation, `current_saver' is set to `none_saver' early.
The others are sccngetc() and sccncheckc(); they will unblank the
screen too. When the kernel enters DDB (via the hot key or a
break point), the screen saver will be stopped by sccngetc().
However, we have a reentrancy problem here. If the system has been in
the middle of the screen saver...
(The screen saver reentrancy problem has always been with sccnputc()
and sccngetc() in the -current source. So, the new code is doing no
worse, I reckon.)

1. Reduced the number of calls to set_destructive_cursor(). The
destructive cursor produced noticeable overhead on the system. It was
caused by draw_cursor_image() calling set_destructive_cursor() every

set_destructive_cursor() absolutely needs to be called when
a) the character code under the cursor has changed either because
the cursor moved or because the screen was updated or the mouse
pointer overlapped the cursor.
b) Or a new font has been loaded,
c) or the video mode has been changed,
d) or the cursor shape has been changed,
e) or the user switched virtual consoles.

Add a new configuration flag, KBD_NORESET (0x20) to tell scprobe() not

IBM ThinkPad 535 has the `Fn' key with which the user can perform
certain functions in conjunction with other keys. For example, `Fn' +
PageUP/PageDOWN adjust speaker volume, `Fn' + Home/End change
brightness of LCD screen. It can also be used to suspend the system.
It appears that these functions are implemented at the keyboard level
or the keyboard controller level and totally independent from BIOS or
OS. But, if the keyboard is reset (as is done in scprobe()), they
become unavailable. (There are other laptops which have similar
functions associated with the `Fn' key. But, they aren't affected by
keyboard reset.)
ThinkPad 535 doesn't have switches or buttons to adjust brightness and
volume, or to put the system into the suspend mode. Therefore, it is
essential to preserve these `Fn' key functions in FreeBSD. The new
flag make scprobe() skip keyboard reset.

card is found.
The second part, whose name stays the same as before, scinit(), is
called from sccninit() and scattach() to complete initialization of
the found video card.
The keyboard probe code is moved from scprobe() to sckbdprobe();
scprobe() now calls scvidprobe() and sckbdprobe() to carry out device

symptom is that the system looks frozen during device probe or just

The patch forces the syscons to call generic_bcopy() when copying

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.

So far, there have been two independent reports from Dell Latitude XPi

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

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.

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

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?

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.
