ChangeSet 1.2281, 2005/03/31 08:42:48-08:00, [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[PATCH] fbcon: Stop framebuffer operations before hardware is properly
initialized
Accessing the hardware before it is properly initialized can lead to
crashes
or screen corruption. This happens when switching to X then back to
console.
When console comes back from X, the device is in an undefined state.
During
this window, accessing the hardware is disallowed.
A new field in fbcon_par is added (graphics), which will be set to
nonzero
just before initialization of the framebuffer and when coming back from
KD_GRAPHICS, then unset when an fb_set_var/fb_set_par is done. While
this
field is set, no accesses to the hardware is done. The consequence of
this
change is, hopefully, more robust switching between KD_GRAPHICS<->
KD_TEXT.
An added benefit coming from this change is that the MODESWITCHLATE
hack is
not needed anymore and thus removed. This hack is used by savagefb,
rivafb
and nvidiafb.
