The old code allowed very strange memory types. Now it works like
all the other video drivers: ioremap_wc is used unconditionally,
and MTRRs are set if PAT is unavailable (unless MTRR is disabled
by a module parameter).
UC, WB, and WT support is gone. If there are MTRR conflicts that prevent
addition of a WC MTRR, adding a non-conflicting MTRR is pointless; it's
better to just turn off MTRR support entirely.
As an added bonus, any MTRR added is freed on unload.

Enables page fault based detection of mmap writes to the framebuffer,
which allows standard fbdev apps (like the generic fbdev xorg driver)
to work on DisplayLink devices.
Not all bugs are shaken out of the fb_defio path of udlfb, but it's
tantalizingly close, so this seems a good time to enable by default.
Alternatively, option can be disabled when running with an xorg driver
that can more directly communicate damaged regions of the framebuffer
via IOCTL. This is a simpler, higher perf option, when available.

By default, udlfb allocates a 2nd buffer to shadow what's across
the bus on the USB device. It can operate without this shadow,
but then it cannot tell which pixels have changed, and must send all.
Saves host memory, but worsens the USB 2.0 bus bottleneck.
This option allows users in very low memory situations (e.g.
bifferboard) to optionally turn off this shadow framebuffer.

The video= parameter of the DRM drivers supports some additional flags that
the normal fb drivers do not have. They also allow to limit these flags to
specific outputs. Both things were previously undocumented.
Also the parsing of the line had some oddities:
-A lot of misplaced options were silently ignored or partly rejected instead
of stopping the parsing immediately
-The 'R' option is documented to follow the 'M' option if specified. It is not
documented that 'M' is needed to specify 'R' (also this is the case for normal
fb drivers). In fact the code is correct for normal fb drivers but wrong for
DRM ones.
The old code allowed 'R' only _before_ 'M' (since it parses backwards) and only
if 'M' is given at all which is not needed for the DRM drivers.
-the margins option ('m') was parsed but later ignored even if the later
functions support it.
-specifying multiple enable options at the same time did not lead to an error.
-specifying something bogus for horizontal resolution (i.e. other things as
digits) did not lead to an error but an invalid resolution was used.
If any errors are encountered the position of the faulting string is now
printed to the user and the complete mode is ignored. This gives much
more consistent error behaviour.
I also removed some useless assignments and changed the local flag variables
to be bool.

updating broken web addresses that are located in Documentation/*
Some of the addresses date as far far back as 1995 etc... so searching became a bit difficult,
the best way to deal with these is to use web.archive.org to locate these addresses that are outdated.
Now there are also some addresses pointing to .spec files some are located, but some(after searching
on the companies site)where still no where to be found. In this case I just changed the address

I would like to get rid of option CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD and just
always enable it. There are many reasons for doing this:
* CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y is what all x86 distributions do, so it
definitely works or we would know by now.
* Building the matroxfb driver with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD not set
results in the following build warning:
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_open':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:265: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c: In function 'matroxfb_dh_release':
drivers/video/matrox/matroxfb_crtc2.c:285: warning: the address of 'matroxfb_global_mxinfo' will always evaluate as 'true'
This is nothing to be worried about, the driver will work fine, but build
warnings are still annoying.
* The trick to get multihead support without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD,
which is described in the config help text, no longer works: you can't
load the same kernel module more than once.
* I fail to see how CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y would make the code
significantly slower, contrary to what the help text says. A few extra
parameters on the stack here and there can't really slow things down in
comaprison to the rest of the code, and register access.
* The driver built without CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD is larger than the
driver build with CONFIG_FB_MATROX_MULTIHEAD=y by 8%.
* One less configuration option makes things simpler. We add options
all the time, being able to remove one for once is nice. It improves
testing coverage. And I don't think the Matrox adapters are still
popular enough to warrant overdetailed configuration settings.
* We should be able to unobfuscate the driver code quite a bit after
this change (patches follow.)

A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without
the bugs of the latter.
Changes to the tridentfb driver:
- FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb. The cyblafb used a blitter
for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade
chipsets. The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core. Use the
blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D
cores. Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the
cyblafb.
- a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the
first author of the tridentfb).
Tested on AGP Blade3D card and PCChips

PXA27x and later processors support overlay1 and overlay2 on-top of the
base framebuffer (although under-neath the base is also possible). They
support palette and no-palette RGB formats, as well as YUV formats (only
available on overlay2). These overlays have dedicated DMA channels and
behave in a similar way as a framebuffer.
This heavily simplified and re-structured work is based on the original
pxafb_overlay.c (which is pending for mainline merge for a long time).
The major problems with this pxafb_overlay.c are (if you are interested
in the history):
1. heavily redundant (the control logics for overlay1 and overlay2 are
actually identical except for some small operations, which are now
abstracted into a 'pxafb_layer_ops' structure)
2. a lot of useless and un-tested code (two workarounds which are now
fixed on mature silicons)
3. cursorfb is actually useless, hardware cursor should not be used
this way, and the code was actually un-tested for a long time.
The code in this patch should be self-explanatory, I tried to add minimum
comments. As said, this is basically simplified, there are several things
still on the pending list:
1. palette mode is un-supported and un-tested (although re-using the
palette code of the base framebuffer is actually very easy now with
previous clean-up patches)
2. fb_pan_display for overlay(s) is un-supported
3. the base framebuffer can actually be abstracted by 'pxafb_layer' as
well, which will help further re-use of the code and keep a better
and consistent structure. (This is the reason I named it 'pxafb_layer'
instead of 'pxafb_overlay' or something alike)

The amount of video memory size is decided according to the following
order:
1. <xres> x <yres> x <bits_per_pixel> by default, which is the backward
compatible way
2. size specified in platform data
3. size specified in module parameter 'options' string or specified in
kernel boot command line (see updated Documentation/fb/pxafb.txt)
And now since the memory is allocated from system memory, the pxafb_mmap
can be removed and the default fb_mmap() should be working all right.
Also, since we now have introduced the 'struct pxafb_dma_buff' for DMA
descriptors and palettes, the allocation can be separated cleanly.
NOTE: the LCD DMA actually supports chained transfer (i.e. page-based
transfers), to simplify the logic and keep the performance (with less
TLB misses when accessing from memory mapped user space), the memory
is allocated by alloc_pages_*() to ensures it's physical contiguous.

Add support for Intel's 945GME graphics chip to the intelfb driver. I
have assumed that the 945GME is identical to the already-supported 945GM
apart from its PCI IDs; this is based on a quick look at the X driver for
these chips which seems to treat them identically.
The 945GME is used in the ASUS Eee 901, and I coded this in the hope that
I'd be able to use it to get a console at the native 1024x600 resolution
which is not known to the BIOS. I realised too late that the intelfb
driver does not support mode changing on laptops, so it won't be any

Prior to suspend, we allocate and switch to a new VT; after suspend, we switch
back to the original VT. This can be slow, and is completely unnecessary if
the framebuffer we're using can restore video properly.
This adds a hook that allows drivers to select whether or not to do this vt
switch, and changes the gxfb driver to call this hook. It also adds a module
param to gxfb to allow controlling of the vt switch (defaulting to no switch).
(Note: I'm not convinced that console_sem is the best way to protect this, but
we should probably have some form of locking..)

Add a driver for S3 Trio / S3 Virge. Driver is tested with most versions
of S3 Trio and with S3 Virge/DX, on i386.
(akpm: We kind-of have support for this hardware already, but...
virgefb.c
- amiga/zorro specific,
- broken (according to Kconfig),
- uses obsolete/nonexistent interface (struct display_switch)
- recent Adrian Bunk's patch removes this driver
S3triofb.c

This is a major update to the cyblafb framebuffer driver. Most
of the stuff has been tested in the mm tree.
Main advantages:
============
- vxres > xres support
- ywrap and xpan support
- much faster for almost all modes (e.g. 1280x1024-16bpp
draws more than 41 full screens of text instead of about 25
full screens of text per second on authors Epia 5000)
- module init/exit code fixed
- bugs triggered by console rotation fixed
- lots of minor improvements
- startup modes suitable for high performance scrolling
in all directions
This diff also contains a lot of white space fixes.
No side effects are possible, only one single graphics core is affected.

vesafb occassionally gets the size wrong when setting the mtrr. When X or DRI
attempts to set the mtrr, it will fail due to range overlap significantly
affecting their performance. Disable mtrr and let the user explicitly enable
it with the mtrr:n option.

The Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) is the latest standard approved by VESA
concerning video timings generation. It addresses the limitation of GTF which
is designed mainly for CRT displays. CRT's have a high blanking requirement
(as much as 25% of the horizontal frame length) which artificially increases
the pixelclock. Digital displays, on the other hand, needs to conserve the
pixelclock as much as possible. The GTF also does not take into account the
different aspect ratios in its calculation.
The new function added is fb_find_mode_cvt(). It is called by fb_find_mode()
if it recognizes a mode option string formatted for CVT. The format is:
<xres>x<yres>[M][R][-<bpp>][<at-sign><refresh>][i][m]
The 'M' tells the function to calculate using CVT. On it's own, it will
compute a timing for CRT displays at 60Hz. If the 'R' is specified, 'reduced
blanking' computation will be used, best for flatpanels. The 'i' and the 'm'
is for 'interlaced mode' and 'with margins' respectively.
To determine if CVT was used, check for dmesg for something like this:
CVT Mode - <pix>M<n>[-R], ie: .480M3-R (800x600 reduced blanking)
where: pix - product of xres and yres, in MB
M - is a CVT mode
n - the aspect ratio (3 - 4:3; 4 - 5:4; 9 - 16:9, 15:9; A - 16:10)
-R - reduced blanking

This is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core.
Currently tridenfb claims to support the cyberblade/i1 graphics core. This
is of very limited truth. Even vesafb is faster and provides more working
modes and a much better quality of the video signal. There is a great
number of bugs in tridentfb ... but most often it is impossible to decide
if these bugs are real bugs or if fixing them for the cyberblade/i1 core
would break support for one of the other supported chips.
Tridentfb seems to be unmaintained,and documentation for most of the
supported chips is not available. So "fixing" cyberblade/i1 support inside
of tridentfb was not an option, it would have caused numerous
if(CYBERBLADEi1) else ... cases and would have rendered the code to be
almost unmaintainable.
A first version of this driver was published on 2005-07-31. A fix for a
bug reported by Jochen Hein was integrated as well as some changes
requested by Antonino A. Daplas.
A message has been added to tridentfb to inform current users of tridentfb
to switch to cyblafb if the cyberblade/i1 graphics core is detected.
This patch is one logical change, but because of the included documentation
it is bigger than 70kb. Therefore it is not sent to lkml and
linux-fbdev-devel,

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
