Bugzilla Bug 6299:
A pixel size of 8 bits produces wrong logo colors in x86_64.
The driver has 2 methods for setting the color map, using the protected
mode interface provided by the video BIOS and directly writing to the VGA
registers. The former is not supported in x86_64 and the latter is enabled
only in i386.
Fix by enabling the latter method in x86_64 only if supported by the BIOS.
If both methods are unsupported, change the visual of vesafb to
STATIC_PSEUDOCOLOR.

From: Bugzilla Bug 5351
"After resuming from S3 (suspended while in X), the LCD panel stays black .
However, the laptop is up again, and I can SSH into it from another
machine.
I can get the panel working again, when I first direct video output to the
CRT output of the laptop, and then back to LCD (done by repeatedly hitting
Fn+F5 buttons on the Toshiba, which directs output to either LCD, CRT or
TV) None of this ever happened with older kernels."
This bug is due to the recently added vesafb_blank() method in vesafb. It
works with CRT displays, but has a high incidence of problems in laptop
users. Since CRT users don't really get that much benefit from hardware
blanking, drop support for this.

vesafb occassionally gets the size wrong when setting the mtrr. When X or DRI
attempts to set the mtrr, it will fail due to range overlap significantly
affecting their performance. Disable mtrr and let the user explicitly enable
it with the mtrr:n option.

According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.
Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.
The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

"...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.

This is a bug, vesafb attempts to add a size < PAGE_SIZE triggering
the messages below.
To eliminate the warning messages, you can add the option mtrr:2 to add a
write-back mtrr for vesafb. Or just use nomtrr option.
1. Fix algorithm for finding the best power of 2 size with mtrr_add().
2. Add option to choose the mtrr type by extending the mtrr boot option:
mtrr:n where n
0 = no mtrr (equivalent to using the nomtrr option)
1 = uncachable
2 = write back
3 = write combining (default)
4 = write through

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
