The dummycon default console size used to be determined by architecture, but now this is a Kconfig setting on everything except ARM. Tracing this back in the historic git trees, this was used to match the size of VGA console or VGA framebuffer on early machines, but nowadays that code is no longer used, except probably on the old footbridge/netwinder since that is the only one that supports vgacon. On machines with a framebuffer, booting with DT so far results in always using the hardcoded 80x30 size in dummycon, while on ATAGS the setting can come from a bootloader specific override. Both seem to be worse choices than the Kconfig setting, since the actual text size for fbcon also depends on the selected font. Make this work the same way as everywhere else and use the normal Kconfig setting, except for the footbridge with vgacon, which keeps using the traditional code. If vgacon is disabled, footbridge can also ignore the setting. This means the screen_info only has to be provided when either vgacon or EFI are enabled now. To limit the amount of surprises on Arm, change the Kconfig default to the previously used 80x30 setting instead of the usual 80x25.

Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a

display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually

everyone wants that.

The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to

their full potential in text mode. Download it from

<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/>.

Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics

adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
|
|
will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
|

say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the

normal VGA driver will handle it.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

module will be called mdacon.

|
This option enables the fbcon (framebuffer text-based) hardware
|
|
acceleration for graphics drivers which were written for the fbdev
|
|
graphics interface.
|
|
|
|
On modern machines, on mainstream machines (like x86-64) or when
|
|
using a modern Linux distribution those fbdev drivers usually aren't used.
|
|
So enabling this option wouldn't have any effect, which is why you want
|
|
to disable this option on such newer machines.
|
|
|
|
If you compile this kernel for older machines which still require the
|
|
fbdev drivers, you may want to say Y.
|
|
|
|
If unsure, select n.

If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will

automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture

supports this feature). Otherwise, the framebuffer console will
|

always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter

is the default behavior.
|
|
|

You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device
|
|
by using the fbcon=map: boot option.

Enable display rotation for the framebuffer console. This is done

in software and may be significantly slower than a normally oriented

If enabled this defers the framebuffer console taking over the
|
|
console from the dummy console until the first text is displayed on
|
|
the console. This is useful in combination with the "quiet" kernel
|
|
commandline option to keep the framebuffer contents initially put up

|
by the firmware in place, rather then replacing the contents with a
|
|
black screen as soon as fbcon loads.
