vfb: make virtual framebuffer mmapable

2007-10-16T16:43:18Z

Changed things: 1. vmalloc()/vfree() replaced with rvmalloc()/rvfree() (taken from drivers/media/video/se401.c) 2. mmap method implemented (mostly taken from drivers/media/video/se401.c) 3. smem_start and smem_len fields of struct fb_fix_screeninfo initialized. (smem_start initialized with virtual address, don't know if it is really bad...)

fbdev: change asm/uaccess.h to linux/uaccess.h

2007-10-16T16:43:17Z

This patch replaces with after the checkpatch.pl hint. The include of is removed if the driver does not use it. Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfb: use fb_sys_read() and fb_sys_write()

2007-05-08T18:15:30Z

Since vfb's framebuffer is vmalloc'ed, use the fb_sys_read() and fb_sys_write(). Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

vfb: use sys instead of cfb drawing functions

Since vfb's framebuffer is vmalloc'ed, use the sys_* drawing functions instead of cfb_*. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] vt: Remove VT-specific declarations and definitions from tty.h

2006-07-10T20:24:16Z

MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their dependency on tty.h.

[PATCH] fbdev: Sanitize ->fb_mmap prototype

2006-01-15T02:27:15Z

No need for a file argument. If we'd really need it it's in vma->vm_file already. gbefb and sgivwfb used to set vma->vm_file to the file argument, but the kernel alrady did that.

[DRIVER MODEL] Convert platform drivers to use struct platform_driver

2005-11-09T22:32:44Z

This allows us to eliminate the casts in the drivers, and eventually remove the use of the device_driver function pointer methods for platform device drivers. Signed-off-by: Russell King Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon

2005-11-07T15:53:50Z

According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is moved to the console directory. Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own version. The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will also not be loaded.
