* tridentfb: remove warning message that cyblafb driver should be usedKrzysztof Helt2008-07-241-4/+0
| | | | | | | | | The tridentfb driver should handle now all chipsets handled by the cyblafb driver. Remove the message which claims that support will be removed.

* tridentfb: add imageblit acceleration for Blade3D familyKrzysztof Helt2008-07-241-3/+76
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Add imageblit acceleration for the Blade3D family of cores. The code is based on code from the cyblafb driver. It is a step toward assimilating back the cyblafb driver into the tridentfb driver. The cyblafb driver handles a subfamily of the Trident Blade3d cores.

* tridentfb: Blade3D clock fixesKrzysztof Helt2008-07-241-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes following problems: - does not allow the m parameter to reach 0 as it locks the graphics core (power cycle needed) - for the newer chips (with new clock registers) does not allow of n / m ratio below 4 as it gives unstable image on the Blade3D core - extend shift parameter (k) range to 2 for the newer chips to cope with the n /m >= 4 limit at low resolution (bandwidth) modes - prefer modes with higher n / m ratio (higher k values) Signed-off-by: Krzysztof Helt <krzysztof.h1@wp.pl> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | The Trident cards uses only 20-bit address of screen start in double words. This allows addressing for only 4MB of video memory so check this. Also remove some redundant checks and assignments.

* tridentfb: fix console freeze when switching from X11Krzysztof Helt2008-07-241-3/+8
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes two problems when acceleration is enabled: - console switch from the Xorg locks up the computer because the Xorg code locks some registers and disables the mmio mode, so reenable these in the tridentfb_set_par() and enable_mmio() - blacklist the Image975 chipset from setting PCI burst mode. This helps with random lock ups of the framebuffer on this chip. The same fix is probably needed for the Xorg as well.

* tridentfb: various pixclock and timing improvementsKrzysztof Helt2008-07-241-7/+28
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes few issues related to timings and pixclock generation: - disallow the pixclocks with numerator lower than double denominator. This fixes display instability for some modes. - choose the pixelclock with the highest numerator and denominator values. This improve image quality and fixes display instability for some modes. - make interlaced modes work. - set synchronization pulses polarization correctly. - horizontal synchronization timing are now the same as generated by X.

* [PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbconAntonino A. Daplas2005-11-071-1/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is moved to the console directory. Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own version. The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will also not be loaded.

* [PATCH] framebuffer: new driver for cyberblade/i1 graphics coreKnut Petersen2005-09-091-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core. Currently tridenfb claims to support the cyberblade/i1 graphics core. This is of very limited truth. Even vesafb is faster and provides more working modes and a much better quality of the video signal. There is a great number of bugs in tridentfb ... but most often it is impossible to decide if these bugs are real bugs or if fixing them for the cyberblade/i1 core would break support for one of the other supported chips. Tridentfb seems to be unmaintained,and documentation for most of the supported chips is not available. So "fixing" cyberblade/i1 support inside of tridentfb was not an option, it would have caused numerous if(CYBERBLADEi1) else ... cases and would have rendered the code to be almost unmaintainable. A first version of this driver was published on 2005-07-31. A fix for a bug reported by Jochen Hein was integrated as well as some changes requested by Antonino A. Daplas. A message has been added to tridentfb to inform current users of tridentfb to switch to cyblafb if the cyberblade/i1 graphics core is detected. This patch is one logical change, but because of the included documentation it is bigger than 70kb. Therefore it is not sent to lkml and linux-fbdev-devel, Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen <Knut_Petersen@t-online.de> Cc: Muli Ben-Yehuda <mulix@mulix.org> Acked-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reported by: Jochen Hein (Bugzilla Bug 4312) When there is disk I/O happening, the framebuffer has a little snow on the screen. Once I/O has finished, no garbage remains on screen. This bug was explained by: Knut Petersen Most important is CRTC register 2f, signal quality is also improved for higher vclk values by changing set_vclk() according to the X drivers and cyblafb.c The fix is to set the performance register (0x2f) with a more stable value.

When X is running, scrolling puts garbage on the screen (looks like X data) Console switch fixes the screen. Behaviour seems to be identical with noaccel and without on the video=tridentfb parameter in lilo.conf. This bug was explained by: Knut_Petersen Acceleration is broken for all BLADE 3D chips for all versions of kernel 2.6 except for 32bit modes. Most important reason is that the u32 col parameter of the graphics engine needs the color value replicated to all u8 of the u32 (8bit modes) and to both u16 of the u32. Fix color value passed to graphics engine, verified by the reporter. Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas <adaplas@pol.net> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
