xilinx_hwicap: remove improper wording in license statement

2008-12-17T19:23:07Z

GPLv2 doesn't allow additional restrictions to be imposed on any code, so this wording needs to be removed from these files. Signed-off-by: Stephen Neuendorffer Cc: stable Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

console ASCII glyph 1:1 mapping

2008-12-13T19:25:49Z

For the console, there is a 1:1 mapping of glyphs which cannot be found in the current font. This seems to be meant as a kind of 'emergency fallback' for fonts without unicode mapping which otherwise would display nothing readable on the screen. At the moment it affects all chars for which no substitution character is defined. In particular this means that for all chars (>= 128) where there is no iso88591-1/unicode character (e.g. control character area) you'll get the very strange 1:1 mapping of the (cp437) graphics card glyphs. I'm pretty sure that the 1:1 mapping should only affect strict ASCII code characters, i.e. chars < 128. The patch limits the mapping as it probably was meant anyway.

unicode table for cp437

2008-12-13T19:25:49Z

There is a major bug in the cp437 to unicode translation table. Char 0x7c is mapped to U+00a5 which is the Yen sign and wrong. The right mapping is U+00a6 (broken bar). Furthermore, a mapping for U+00b4 (a widely used character) is missing even though easily possible. The patch fixes these, as well as it provides a few other useful mappings. The changes are as follows: 0x0f (enhancement) enables a sort of currency symbol 0x27 (bug) enables a sort of acute accent which is a widely used character 0x44 (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic capital letter eth 0x7c (major bug) corrects mapping 0xeb (enhancement) enables a sort of icelandic small letter eth 0xee (enhancement) enables a sort of math 'element of' Signed-off-by: Ingo Brueckl Acked-by: H.
