14 Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a
15 display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually
18 The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to
19 their full potential in text mode. Download it from
20 <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/>.
24 config VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK
25 bool "Enable Scrollback Buffer in System RAM"
26 depends on VGA_CONSOLE
29 The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
30 the VGA RAM. The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
31 If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
32 System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.
33 Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
36 If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of
37 RAM to allocate for this buffer. If unsure, say 'N'.
39 config VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE
40 int "Scrollback Buffer Size (in KB)"
41 depends on VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK
45 Enter the amount of System RAM to allocate for the scrollback
46 buffer. Each 64KB will give you approximately 16 80x25
47 screenfuls of scrollback buffer
50 depends on !M68K && !PARISC && ISA
51 tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed)"
53 Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
54 adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
55 will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
56 say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
57 normal VGA driver will handle it.
59 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
60 module will be called mdacon.
64 config SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE
65 tristate "SGI Newport Console support"
69 Say Y here if you want the console on the Newport aka XL graphics
70 card of your Indy. Most people say Y here.
74 depends on VGA_CONSOLE!=y || SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE!=y
77 config DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS
78 int "Initial number of console screen columns"
79 depends on PARISC && DUMMY_CONSOLE
82 The default value is 160, which should fit a 1280x1024 monitor.
83 Select 80 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.
85 config DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS
86 int "Initial number of console screen rows"
87 depends on PARISC && DUMMY_CONSOLE
90 The default value is 64, which should fit a 1280x1024 monitor.
91 Select 25 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.
93 config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
94 tristate "Framebuffer Console support"
99 Low-level framebuffer-based console driver.
101 config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY
102 bool "Map the console to the primary display device"
103 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
106 If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will
107 automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture
108 supports this feature). Otherwise, the framebuffer console will
109 always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter
110 is the default behavior.
112 You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device
113 by using the fbcon=map: boot option.
117 config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION
118 bool "Framebuffer Console Rotation"
119 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
121 Enable display rotation for the framebuffer console. This is done
122 in software and may be significantly slower than a normally oriented
123 display. Note that the rotation is done at the console level only
124 such that other users of the framebuffer will remain normally
128 bool "STI text console"
133 The STI console is the builtin display/keyboard on HP-PARISC
134 machines. Say Y here to build support for it into your kernel.
135 The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.
