[PATCH] neofb: avoid resetting display config on unblank (v2)

2006-02-15T23:32:21Z

There were two mistakes in the register-read-on-(un)blank approach. - First, without proper register (un)locking the value read back will always be zero, and this is what I missed entirely until just now. Due to this, the logic could not be verified at all and I tried some bogus checks which are completely stupid. - Second, the LCD status bit will always be set to zero when the backlight has been turned off. Reading the value back during unblank will disable the LCD unconditionally, regardless of the state it is supposed to be in, since we set it to zero beforehand. So this is what we do now: - create a new variable in struct neofb_par, and use that to determine whether to read back registers (initialized to true) - before actually blanking the screen, read back the register to sense any possible change made through Fn key combo - use proper neoUnlock() / neoLock() to actually read something - every call to neofb_blank() determines if we read back next time: blanking disables readback, unblanking (FB_BLANK_UNBLANK) enables it This should give us a nice and clean state machine. Has been thoroughly tested on a Dell Latitude CPiA / NM220 Chip docked to a C/Dock2 with attached CRT in all possible combinations of LCD/CRT on/off. I changed the config via Fn key, let the console blank, unblanked by keypress - works flawlessly. Signed-off-by: Christian Trefzer Cc: "Antonino A.

[PATCH] Update cyblafb driver

2006-01-09T18:00:36Z

This is a major update to the cyblafb framebuffer driver. Most of the stuff has been tested in the mm tree. Main advantages: ============ - vxres > xres support - ywrap and xpan support - much faster for almost all modes (e.g. 1280x1024-16bpp draws more than 41 full screens of text instead of about 25 full screens of text per second on authors Epia 5000) - module init/exit code fixed - bugs triggered by console rotation fixed - lots of minor improvements - startup modes suitable for high performance scrolling in all directions This diff also contains a lot of white space fixes. No side effects are possible, only one single graphics core is affected. Signed-off-by: Knut Petersen Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] SharpSL: Abstract c7x0 specifics from Corgi Touchscreen driver

2005-09-13T15:22:31Z

Separate out the Sharp Zaurus c7x0 series specific code from the Corgi Touchscreen driver. Use the new functions in corgi_lcd.c via sharpsl.h for hsync handling and pass the IRQ as a platform device resource. Move a function prototype into the w100fb header file where it belongs. This enables the driver to be used by the Zaurus cxx00 series. Signed-Off-by: Richard Purdie Cc: Vojtech Pavlik Cc: Russell King Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] framebuffer: new driver for cyberblade/i1 graphics core

2005-09-09T20:58:02Z

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 Cc: Muli Ben-Yehuda Acked-by: Antonino Daplas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds
