Some visually impaired people use hardware devices which directly read
the vga screen. When newt for instance asks to hide the cursor for
better visual aspect, the kernel puts the vga cursor out of the screen,
so that the cursor position can't be read by the hardware device. This
is a great loss for such people.

Here is a patch which uses the same technique as CUR_NONE for hiding the
cursor while still moving it.

Mario, you should apply it to the speakup kernel for access floppies
asap. I'll submit a 2.4 patch too.

Statically allocated devices in module data is a potential cause
of oopsen.  The device may be in use by a userspace process, which
will keep a reference to the device.  If the module is unloaded,
the module data will be freed.  Subsequent use of the platform
device will cause a kernel oops.

This adds support for the Nvidia Geforce 7800 series of cards to the
nvidiafb framebuffer driver.  All it does is add the PCI device id for
the 7800, 7800 GTX, 7800 GO, and 7800 GTX GO cards to the module device
table for the nvidiafb.ko driver, so that nvidiafb.ko will actually work
on these cards.

I also added the relevant PCI device ids to linux/pci_ids.h

I tested it on my 7800 GTX here and it works like a charm.  I now can
get framebuffer support on this card! Woo hoo!! Nothing like 200x75 text

This patch fixes a long-standing vgacon bug: characters with the bright bit
set were left on the screen and not blacked out.  All I did was that I
lookuped up some examples on the net about setting the vga palette, and
added the call missing from the linux kernel, but included in all other
ones.  It works for me.

You can test this by writing something with the bright set to the
console, for example:
  echo -e "\e[1;31mhello there\e[0m"
and then wait for the console to blank itself (by default, after 10 mins
of inactivity), maybe making it faster using
  setterm -blank 1
so you only have to wait 1 minute.

Change the phys_mem_access_prot() function to take a pfn instead of an
address.  This allows mmap64() to work on /dev/mem for addresses above 4G
on 32-bit architectures.  We start with a pfn in mmap_mem(), so there's no
need to convert to an address; in fact, it's actively bad, since the
conversion can overflow when the address is above 4G.

Similarly fix the ppc32 page_is_ram() function to avoid a conversion to an
address by directly comparing to max_pfn.  Working with max_pfn instead of
high_memory fixes page_is_ram() to give the right answer for highmem pages.

In PM v1, all devices were called at SUSPEND_DISABLE level.  Then
all devices were called at SUSPEND_SAVE_STATE level, and finally
SUSPEND_POWER_DOWN level.  However, with PM v2, to maintain
compatibility for platform devices, I arranged for the PM v2
suspend/resume callbacks to call the old PM v1 suspend/resume
callbacks three times with each level in order so that existing
drivers continued to work.

Since this is obsolete infrastructure which is no longer necessary,
we can remove it.  Here's an (untested) patch to do exactly that.

 "...I've got a Toshiba notebook (730XCDT -- Pentium 150MMX) for which
  I'm using the Vesa FB driver.  When the machine has been idle for some
  time and the driver attempts to powerdown the display, rather than the
  display going blank, it goes gray with several strange lines.  When I
  hit the "shift" key or other-wise wake up the display, the old video
  state is not fully restored..."

vesafb recently added a blank method which has only 2 states, powerup and
powerdown.  The powerdown state is used for all blanking levels, but in his
case, powerdown does not work correctly for higher levels of display
powersaving. Thus, for intermediate power levels, use software blanking,
and use only hardware blanking for an explicit powerdown.

Fix bug 5441.

I didn't know about messy programs like svgatextmode...  Couldn't this be
integrated in some linux/drivers/video/console/svgacon.c ?...  So because
of the existence of the svgatextmode program, the kernel is not supposed to
touch to CRT_OVERFLOW/SYNC_END/DISP/DISP_END/OFFSET ?

Disabling the check in vgacon_resize() might help indeed, but I'm really
not sure whether it will work for any chipset: in my patch, CRT registers
are set at each console switch, since stty rows/cols apply to consoles
separately...

The attached solution is to keep the test, but if it fails, we assume that
the caller knows what it does (i.e.  it is svgatextmode) and then disable
any further call to vgacon_doresize.  Svgatextmode is usually used to
_expand_ the display, not to shrink it.  And it is harmless in the case of
a too big stty rows/cols: the display will just be cropped.  I tested it on
my laptop, and it works fine with svgatextmode.

A better solution would be that svgatextmode explicitely tells the kernel
not to care about video timing, but for this an interface needs be defined
and svgatextmode be patched.

displays for a very short period of time, then is replaced by a grey
box. This leads me to believe that this framebuffer would have problems
in X, but since there hasn't been a weitek driver for X in several
millennia, this isn't something that I can confirm or deny.

This adds suspend support for the Radeon M11 chip in 12" iBooks
manufactured after July 2005.  I don't know if the new 14" iBooks also
have that chip, so they might also be supported.

The chip identifies itself as "RV350 NV" (pci id 0x4e56), revision 0x80.
Apple calls it "Snowy", xfree86 names it "ATI FireGL Mobility T2 (M11)
NV (AGP)".  So, we seem to be lucky here: The suspend-code for the M10
(which also is a "RV350 NV") works flawless for that chip.
