  23. Default video modes
  24. -------------------
  25. At the moment, there are two kernel command line arguments supported:
  26. - mode:640x480
  27. - mode:800x600
  28. - mode:1024x768
  29. Full support for startup video modes (modedb) will be integrated soon.
  30. Version 1.9.9.1
  31. ---------------
  32. * Fix memory detection for 512kB case
  33. * 800x600 mode
  34. * Fixed timings
  35. * Hint for AXP: Use -accel false -vyres -1 when changing resolution
  36. Version 1.9.4.4
  37. ---------------
  38. * Preliminary Laguna support
  39. * Overhaul color register routines.
  40. * Associated with the above, console colors are now obtained from a LUT
  41. called 'palette' instead of from the VGA registers. This code was
  42. modelled after that in atyfb and matroxfb.
  43. * Code cleanup, add comments.
  44. * Overhaul SR07 handling.
  45. * Bug fixes.
  46. Version 1.9.4.3
  47. ---------------
  48. * Correctly set default startup video mode.
  49. * Do not override ram size setting. Define
  50. CLGEN_USE_HARDCODED_RAM_SETTINGS if you _do_ want to override the RAM
  51. setting.
  52. * Compile fixes related to new 2.3.x IORESOURCE_IO[PORT] symbol changes.
  53. * Use new 2.3.x resource allocation.
  54. * Some code cleanup.
  55. Version 1.9.4.2
  56. ---------------
  57. * Casting fixes.
  58. * Assertions no longer cause an oops on purpose.
  59. * Bug fixes.
  60. Version 1.9.4.1
  61. ---------------
  62. * Add compatibility support. Now requires a 2.1.x, 2.2.x or 2.3.x kernel.
  63. Version 1.9.4
  64. -------------
  65. * Several enhancements, smaller memory footprint, a few bugfixes.
  66. * Requires kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later.
  67. Version 1.9.3
  68. -------------
  69. * Bundled with kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later.
