* drm: Take vt(4) default mode from loader tunablesdumbbell2014-11-221-1/+43
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | By default, vt(4) gets the "preferred mode" from DRM, when using a DRM video driver as its backend. The preferred mode is usually the native screen resolution. Now, if this mode isn't appropriate, a user can use loader tunables to select a mode. The tunables are read in the following order: 1. kern.vt.fb.modes.$connector_name 2. kern.vt.fb.default_mode For example, to set a 1024x768 mode, no matter the connector: kern.vt.fb.default_mode="1024x768" To set a 800x600 mode only on the laptop builtin screen: kern.vt.fb.modes.LVDS-1="800x600" Beside r274031, this MFC includes: r274049: drm: When reading connector mode tunables, list connectors ... and their associated tunables. This gives a way to know the list of available connectors, no matter the driver. The problem is that xrandr(1) can list connectors but it uses a different naming. r274050: vt(4): Document kern.vt.fb.default_mode and kern.vt.fb.modes.* Those tunables are used to set a specific mode in vt(4) instead of using the default mode.

(The previous implementation had separate kern.vt.disable and hw.syscons.disable tunables, and would panic if both drivers were compiled in and neither was explicitly disabled.) 268175 by emaste@ Log: Fix vt(4) detection in kbdcontrol and vidcontrol As sc(4) and vt(4) coexist and are both enabled in GENERIC, the existence of a vt(4) sysctl is not sufficient to determine that vt(4) is in use. Reported by: Trond Endrestøl 268045 by emaste@ Log: Add vt(4) to GENERIC and retire the separate VT config vt(4) and sc(4) can now coexist in the same kernel. To choose the vt driver, set the loader tunable kern.vty=vt . Sponsored by: The FreeBSD Foundation

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In order to get vt(4) a bit closer to the feature set provided by sc(4), implement options TERMINAL_{KERN,NORM}_ATTR. These are aliased to SC_{KERNEL_CONS,NORM}_ATTR and like these latter, allow to change the default colors of normal and kernel text respectively. Note on the naming: Although affecting the output of vt(4), technically kern/subr_terminal.c is primarily concerned with changing default colors so it would be inconsistent to term these options VT_{KERN,NORM}_ATTR. Actually, if the architecture and abstraction of terminal+teken+vt would be perfect, dev/vt/* wouldn't be touched by this commit at all.

| | | | | | | | | - SC_NO_SYSMOUSE isn't currently supported by vt(4), so nuke it from vt.4. - vt_vga(4) is a driver rather than a function so reference it accordingly. - Uncomment HISTORY section given that vt(4) will first appear in 9.3.
