d85c3553df [SPARC]: Fix p9100 framebuffer in 2.6
The attached patch fixes the p9100 framebuffer so that text is viewable
(not black on black, like it was before the patch). The linux logo
displays for a very short period of time, then is replaced by a grey
box. This leads me to believe that this framebuffer would have problems
in X, but since there hasn't been a weitek driver for X in several
millennia, this isn't something that I can confirm or deny.

But this patch does get color console working on my SPARCbook 3TX.

14bfd1ff94 [PATCH] pmac/radeonfb: Add suspend support for M11 chip in new iBook 12"
This adds suspend support for the Radeon M11 chip in 12" iBooks
manufactured after July 2005.  I don't know if the new 14" iBooks also
have that chip, so they might also be supported.

The chip identifies itself as "RV350 NV" (pci id 0x4e56), revision 0x80.
Apple calls it "Snowy", xfree86 names it "ATI FireGL Mobility T2 (M11)
NV (AGP)".  So, we seem to be lucky here: The suspend-code for the M10
(which also is a "RV350 NV") works flawless for that chip.

017fb98e70 [RADEON]: Fix unaligned I/O port access during probe.
The driver does a readl() on DEVICE_ID which is 2-byte aligned and
2-bytes in size.  It's doing this read just to flush write buffers.

Create IN16() and OUT16() macros, and use the former to do this I/O

6d36ba629e [PATCH] vgacon: Fix sanity checking in vgacon_resize
Reported by: walt <wa1ter@myrealbox.com>

"I routinely switch the console font during bootup to
8x8 so I can get 50 lines per screen.  Until 09 Sept,
just changing to the small font automatically gave me
all 50 lines -- but now I'm only getting 25 lines even
with the small font.  The bottom half of the screen
displays the text that already scrolled off the top."

This bug is due to an erroneous check in the recently added hook,
vgacon_resize(). It checks the new height against the original number of
rows of the console. Because the original number of rows depends on both
the scanline and the font height, check it instead against the
scanline/fontheight.

1bbb4f2035 [PATCH] USB: sisusb[vga] update
here is a new and extended version of the sisusbvga (previously: sisusb)
driver. The patch is against 2.6.13 and updates the driver to version 0.0.8.

Additions include complete VGA/EGA text console support and a build-in
display mode infrastructure for userland applications that don't know
 about the graphics internals.

Fixes include some BE/LE issues and a get/put_dev bug in the previous
version.

Other changes include a change of the module name from "sisusb" to
"sisusbvga". The previous one was too generic IMHO.

Please note that the patch also affects the Makefile in
drivers/video/console as the driver requires the VGA 8x16 font in case
the text console part is selected.

Heavily tested, as usual. Please apply.

One thing though: I already prepared for removal of the "mode" field and
the changed "name" field in the usb_class_driver structure. This will
perhaps need some refinement depending on whether you/Linus merge the
respective core changes before or after 2.6.14.

747a5054c0 [PATCH] i810fb: Change option ext_vga to extvga to match documentation
Reported by: Manuel Lauss <mano@roarinelk.homelinux.net>

He was getting random initial video modes depending on the kernel
configuration.  His option line includes 'extvga'.

The i810fb documentation describes the option 'extvga', however the
driver accepts 'ext_vga'.  Besides 'extvga' being ignored by i810fb,
it also confuses the option parser of i810fb and assigns 'extvga' to
'mode_option'.  This leads to an incorrect video mode at boot time.

948a95ff5e [PATCH] nvidiafb: Use CVT to get mode for digital displays
If no EDID block is probed, if the display is digital and if no mode option is
specified by the user, get the timings by CVT instead of using the global mode
database.

96fe6a2109 [PATCH] fbdev: Add VESA Coordinated Video Timings (CVT) support
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

5251bffc9b [PATCH] radeonfb: Only request resources we need
This patch changes radeon to request only resources 0 and 2 instead of all
3.  This works around problems with some setups where BAR 1 (IO BAR) has
not been assigned by the firmware since it's not used on the machine and
the kernel fails to assign something to it due to the card being between a
P2P bridge that was configured without an IO range at all.

This typically fixes radeonfb on some Apple Xserve G5 machines

c5eb5c1ea9 [PATCH] framebuffer: bit_putcs() optimization for 8x* fonts
This trivial patch gives a performance boost to the framebuffer console

Constructing the bitmaps that are given to the bitblit functions of the
framebuffer drivers is time consuming.  Here we avoide a call to the slow
fb_pad_aligned_buffer().  The patch replaces that call with a simple but
much more efficient bytewise copy.

The kernel spends a significant time at this place if you use 8x* fonts.
Every pixel displayed on your screen is prepared here.

Some benchmark results:

Displaying a file of 2000 lines with 160 characters each takes 889 ms
system time using cyblafb on my system (I´m using a 1280x1024 video mode,
resulting in a 160x64 character console)

Displaying the same file with the enclosed patch applied to 2.6.13 only
takes 760 ms system time, saving 129 ms or 14.5%.

Font widths other than 8 are not affected.

The advantage and correctness of this patch should be obvious.

9fa68eae9f [PATCH] framebuffer: new driver for cyberblade/i1 graphics core
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,
