vc: Add support for hiding the cursor when creating VTs

2009-11-13T23:54:27+00:00

Add support for setting a global default for whether or not a visible
cursor should be enabled when creating VCs. The default will be to do so,
unless overridden by the user at boot time or by a driver.

vt: remove power stuff from kernel/power

2009-09-19T20:13:25+00:00

In the past someone gratuitiously borrowed chunks of kernel internal vt
code and dumped them in kernel/power. They have all sorts of deep relations
with the vt code so put them in the vt tree instead

vt: add an event interface

2009-09-19T20:13:24+00:00

This is needed and requested in various forms for ConsoleKit, screenblank
handling and the like so do the job with a single interface. Also build the
interface so that unlike VT_WAITACTIVE and friends it won't miss events.

FIXME: Should this be a waitactive ioctl or a new device file you can poll
and read events from. We need the code anyway to fix up the existing broken
wait for console switch logic but the ConsoleKit people would prefer the
new device to the ioctl we have here

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.
