Default video modes

At the moment, there are two kernel command line arguments supported:

mode:640x480
mode:800x600
or
mode:1024x768

Full support for startup video modes (modedb) will be integrated soon.

Version 1.9.9.1

  • Fix memory detection for 512kB case
  • 800x600 mode
  • Fixed timings
  • Hint for AXP: Use -accel false -vyres -1 when changing resolution

Version 1.9.4.4

  • Preliminary Laguna support
  • Overhaul color register routines.
  • Associated with the above, console colors are now obtained from a LUT
    called ‘palette’ instead of from the VGA registers. This code was
    modelled after that in atyfb and matroxfb.
  • Code cleanup, add comments.
  • Overhaul SR07 handling.
  • Bug fixes.

Version 1.9.4.3

  • Correctly set default startup video mode.
  • Do not override ram size setting. Define
    CLGEN_USE_HARDCODED_RAM_SETTINGS if you do want to override the RAM
    setting.
  • Compile fixes related to new 2.3.x IORESOURCE_IO[PORT] symbol changes.
  • Use new 2.3.x resource allocation.
  • Some code cleanup.

Version 1.9.4.2

  • Casting fixes.
  • Assertions no longer cause an oops on purpose.
  • Bug fixes.

Version 1.9.4.1

  • Add compatibility support. Now requires a 2.1.x, 2.2.x or 2.3.x kernel.

Version 1.9.4

  • Several enhancements, smaller memory footprint, a few bugfixes.
  • Requires kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later.

Version 1.9.3

  • Bundled with kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later.
