Re: Scrolling in framebuffer syscons

Hi,

i have a question about how the scrolling in a framebuffer syscons works.
I'm trying to speed up the syscons on the PS3 console  which is a 
simple framebuffer syscons.
It uses the renderer _gfbrndrsw_ (see dev/syscons/scgfbrndr.c) to draw 
into the framebuffer of the PS3 console.
The _gfb_draw_ function implements a simple scrolling that moves data 
from bottom to top with _vidd_copy_.
And that's where i have a problem because _vidd_copy_ calls the 
function _ps3fb_copy_ (see powerpc/ps3/ps3_syscons.c).
But the function _ps3fb_copy_ is NOT implemented yet. So, the question 
is how does the scrolling work then ?
I took a look at other syscons implementation based on a framebuffer, 
and almost all of them do NOT implement _vidd_copy_

function, e.g. XBOX syscons.


I think driver re-renders whole screen character by character. That's 
why no copy operation is invoked.
