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/>.

27 tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed)"
29 Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
30 adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
31 will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
32 say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
33 normal VGA driver will handle it.
35 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
36 module will be called mdacon.
40 config SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE
41 tristate "SGI Newport Console support"
42 depends on SGI_IP22 && HAS_IOMEM
45 Say Y here if you want the console on the Newport aka XL graphics
46 card of your Indy. Most people say Y here.
52 config DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS
53 int "Initial number of console screen columns"
54 depends on DUMMY_CONSOLE && !ARM
58 On PA-RISC, the default value is 160, which should fit a 1280x1024
60 Select 80 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.
62 config DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS
63 int "Initial number of console screen rows"
64 depends on DUMMY_CONSOLE && !ARM
68 On PA-RISC, the default value is 64, which should fit a 1280x1024
70 Select 25 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.
72 config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
73 bool "Framebuffer Console support"
75 select VT_HW_CONSOLE_BINDING
79 Low-level framebuffer-based console driver.
81 config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DETECT_PRIMARY
82 bool "Map the console to the primary display device"
83 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
86 If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will
87 automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture
88 supports this feature). Otherwise, the framebuffer console will
89 always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter
90 is the default behavior.
92 You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device
93 by using the fbcon=map: boot option.
97 config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION
98 bool "Framebuffer Console Rotation"
99 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
101 Enable display rotation for the framebuffer console. This is done
102 in software and may be significantly slower than a normally oriented
103 display. Note that the rotation is done at the console level only
104 such that other users of the framebuffer will remain normally
107 config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER
108 bool "Framebuffer Console Deferred Takeover"
109 depends on FB=y && FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE && DUMMY_CONSOLE
111 If enabled this defers the framebuffer console taking over the
112 console from the dummy console until the first text is displayed on
113 the console. This is useful in combination with the "quiet" kernel
114 commandline option to keep the framebuffer contents initially put up
115 by the firmware in place, rather then replacing the contents with a
116 black screen as soon as fbcon loads.
119 bool "STI text console"
120 depends on PARISC && HAS_IOMEM
125 The STI console is the builtin display/keyboard on HP-PARISC
126 machines. Say Y here to build support for it into your kernel.
127 The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.
130 bool "FPC-III text console"
133 Say Y here to enable text console support for the HDMI output
