tty: Remove more special casing and out of place code

2008-10-13T16:51:42+00:00

Carry on pushing code out of tty_io when it belongs to other drivers. I'm
not 100% happy with some of this and it will be worth revisiting some of the
exports later when the restructuring work is done.

tty: remove resize window special case

2008-08-15T17:34:07+00:00

This moves it to being a tty operation. That removes special cases and now
also means that resize can be picked up by um and other non vt consoles
which may have a resize operation.

embedded: fix vc_translate operator precedence

2008-08-01T21:23:09+00:00

This fixes a bug in operator precedence in the newly introduced vc_translate
macro.  Without this fix, the translation of some characters on the
kernel console is garbled.

This patch was copied to the e-mail list previously for testing.  Now,
all reports confirm that it works, so this is an official post for
application.

Make console charset translation optional

2008-06-04T13:56:12+00:00

By turning off the new CONSOLE_TRANSLATIONS option and dropping the
associated code and tables from the kernel, we can save about 7KiB.

Taken from linux-tiny project by Tim Bird and mangled further by dwmw2.

add CONFIG_VT_UNICODE

2007-10-17T15:42:56+00:00

As of now, the kernel defaults to non-unicode and XLATE for the keyboard.
We've been changing this in Fedora, but that requires patching the defaults
in the kernel.

The attached introduces CONFIG_VT_UNICODE, which sets the console in
unicode mode by default on boot, including both the virtual terminal and
the keyboard driver.

fbcon: allow fbcon to use the primary display driver

2007-07-17T17:23:11+00:00

Allow fbcon to select the primary display adapter using the
fb_is_primary_device() arch-specific helper.  If a a primary adapter is
detected, fbcon will unbind the old adapter from the VT layer, then rebind
using the new adapter.  This requires that bind_/unbind_con_driver() be made
public.

Because this feature may produce unexpected behavior (from the user's POV),
this must be explicitly enabled in Kconfig.

use mutex instead of semaphore in virtual console driver

2007-05-08T18:15:33+00:00

The virtual console driver uses a semaphore as mutex.  Use the mutex API
instead of the (binary) semaphore.
