| | | | | | | | | | implemented using a new VT_LOCKSWITCH ioctl. Although it is possible to implement something like this by VT_SETMODEing to VT_PROCESS and never releasing the vty, that method has a number of downsides, the biggest of which is that some program has to stay resident for the lock to be in effect.

Make sure your kernel configuration file has the following line. options "VM86" If you want to statically link the VESA support code to the kernel, add the following option to the kernel configuration file. options "VESA" The vidcontrol command now accepts the following video mode names: VESA_132x25, VESA_132x43, VESA_132x50, VESA_132x60, VESA_800x600 The VESA_800x600 mode is a raster display mode. The 80x25 text will be displayed on the 800x600 screen. Useful for some laptop computers. vidcontrol accepts the new `-i <info>' option, where <info> must be either `adapter' or `mode'. When the `-i adapter' option is given, vidcontrol will print basic information (not much) on the video adapter. When the `-i mode' option is specified, vidcontrol will list video modes which are actually supported by the video adapter. Submitted by: Kazutaka YOKOTA yokota@FreeBSD.ORG

Fixed bug that sometimes caused garbage to appear when leaving "scroll-lock" history. Reformattet indentation, it got too deep for a normal 80 pos screen. Split up in syscons.c & syscons.h for use with the saver-lkm's. Temporarily removed -s option from vidcontrol, savers should now be loaded with modload.
