  • b6f448e99   PM/gxfb: add hook to PM console layer that allows disabling of suspend VT switch ... Browse Code »

    Prior to suspend, we allocate and switch to a new VT; after suspend, we switch
    back to the original VT. This can be slow, and is completely unnecessary if
    the framebuffer we're using can restore video properly.

    This adds a hook that allows drivers to select whether or not to do this vt
    switch, and changes the gxfb driver to call this hook. It also adds a module
    param to gxfb to allow controlling of the vt switch (defaulting to no switch).

    (Note: I'm not convinced that console_sem is the best way to protect this, but
    we should probably have some form of locking..)

  • fa20c8a6e   gxfb: replace FBSIZE config option with a module parameter ... Browse Code »

    Use a command line option (vram) rather than hardcoding the vram size. LxFB
    already does this; it's useful for machines that can't query the BIOS for fb
    size. This patch originated from David Woodhouse, was modified by Jordan
    Crouse, and was then modified further by me.

    This also adds some gxfb documentation in Documentation/fb.
