The drivers/video directory is a mess. It contains generic video related
files, directories for backlight, console, linux logo, lots of fbdev
device drivers, fbdev framework files.
Make some order into the chaos by creating drivers/video/fbdev
directory, and move all fbdev related files there.
No functionality is changed, although I guess it is possible that some
subtle Makefile build order related issue could be created by this
patch.

CONFIG_HOTPLUG is going away as an option. As a result, the __dev*
markings need to be removed.
This change removes the use of __devinit, __devexit_p, __devinitdata,
__devinitconst, and __devexit from these drivers.
Based on patches originally written by Bill Pemberton, but redone by me
in order to handle some of the coding style issues better, by hand.

module_param(bool) used to counter-intuitively take an int. In
fddd5201 (mid-2009) we allowed bool or int/unsigned int using a messy
trick.
It's time to remove the int/unsigned int option. For this version
it'll simply give a warning, but it'll break next kernel version.

The intelfb driver sets color map depending on currently active pipe.
However, if an LVDS display is attached (like in laptop) the active pipe
variable is never set. The default value is PIPE_A and can be wrong. Set
up the pipe variable during driver initialization after hardware state was
read.
Also, the detection of the active display (and hence the pipe) is wrong.
The pipes are assigned to so called planes. Both pipes are always enabled
on my laptop but only one plane is enabled (the plane A for the CRT or the
plane B for the LVDS). Change active pipe detection code to take into
account a status of the plane assigned to each pipe.
The problem is visible in the 8 bpp mode if colors above 15 are used. The
first 16 color entries are displayed correctly.

When changing video timing dynamically via fbset the screen sporadically
is rendered black.
With the attached fix which disables VCO prior to timing register change
the problem disappears.
I had a look at the Xserver register setup code. Here the VCO is
disabled in the same way [1].
This patch is taken from vga-sync-field version 0.0.11 [2][3].

Add support for Intel's 945GME graphics chip to the intelfb driver. I
have assumed that the 945GME is identical to the already-supported 945GM
apart from its PCI IDs; this is based on a quick look at the X driver for
these chips which seems to treat them identically.
The 945GME is used in the ASUS Eee 901, and I coded this in the hope that
I'd be able to use it to get a console at the native 1024x600 resolution
which is not known to the BIOS. I realised too late that the intelfb
driver does not support mode changing on laptops, so it won't be any
use for me.

965G/965GM
Add support for the 965G and 965GM graphic chipsets to the intelfb driver. I
have a notebook with an Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics
Controller and with the attached patch the framebuffer comes up. I have
tested it a bit with DirectFB to make sure it is working stable.
I also have an Intel Mobile GM945 and I compared the results, the programming
interface of the 9xx series from Intel is mostly the same, so I think the
patch should add all the functionality which the 945GM has.

MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a

[03/05] intelfb: Implement basic interrupt handling
Functions have been added to enable and disable interrupts using the MMIO registers. Currently only pipe A vsync interrupts are enabled.
A generalized vsync accounting struct is defined, with the intent that it can encapsulate per-pipe vsync related info in the future. Currently a single instance is hard-coded.
The interrupt service routine currently only looks for vsync interrupts on pipe A, and increments a counter and wakes up anyone waiting on it.
This implementation is heavily influenced by similar implementations in the atyfb and matroxfb drivers.

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.

On Nov 16 2004 a change to intelfbdrv.c was commited (as part of 0.9.2 it
looks like) that added __initdata to all of the module param variables that
seems to create the opportunity for an oops.
I've recently been chasing an OOPS
(http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=111552250920370&w=2) I
created by reading every file on the /sys file system and I've traced it
back to this code in the intelfbdrv. Though I had root privs in my initial
problem report, it turns out they are un-necessary to generate the oops -
all you've got to do is "cat /sys/module/intelfb/parameters/mode" enough
times and eventually it will oops.
This is because sysfs automatically exports all module_param declarations
to the sysfs file system.. which means those variables can be dynamically
evaluated at any later time, which of course means marking them __initdata
is a bad idea ;).. when they happen to be char *'s it is an especially bad
idea ;).
Applying the patch below clears up the OOPS for me.

Ingo Oeser noticed that all that intelfbdrv.h contains are prototypes for
static functions - and such prototypes don't belong into header files.
This patch therefore removes drivers/video/intelfb/intelfbdrv.h and moves the
prototypes to intelfbdrv.c .

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!
