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