| 33 | Default video modes |
| 34 | ------------------- |
| 35 | At the moment, there are two kernel command line arguments supported: |
| 36 | |
| 37 | mode:640x480 |
| 38 | mode:800x600 |
| 39 | or |
| 40 | mode:1024x768 |
| 41 | |
| 42 | Full support for startup video modes (modedb) will be integrated soon. |
| 43 | |
| 44 | Version 1.9.9.1 |
| 45 | --------------- |
| 46 | * Fix memory detection for 512kB case |
| 47 | * 800x600 mode |
| 48 | * Fixed timings |
| 49 | * Hint for AXP: Use -accel false -vyres -1 when changing resolution |
| 50 | |
| 51 | |
| 52 | Version 1.9.4.4 |
| 53 | --------------- |
| 54 | * Preliminary Laguna support |
| 55 | * Overhaul color register routines. |
| 56 | * Associated with the above, console colors are now obtained from a LUT |
| 57 | called 'palette' instead of from the VGA registers. This code was |
| 58 | modeled after that in atyfb and matroxfb. |
| 59 | * Code cleanup, add comments. |
| 60 | * Overhaul SR07 handling. |
| 61 | * Bug fixes. |
| 62 | |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Version 1.9.4.3 |
| 65 | --------------- |
| 66 | * Correctly set default startup video mode. |
| 67 | * Do not override ram size setting. Define |
| 68 | CLGEN_USE_HARDCODED_RAM_SETTINGS if you _do_ want to override the RAM |
| 69 | setting. |
| 70 | * Compile fixes related to new 2.3.x IORESOURCE_IO[PORT] symbol changes. |
| 71 | * Use new 2.3.x resource allocation. |
| 72 | * Some code cleanup. |
| 73 | |
| 74 | |
| 75 | Version 1.9.4.2 |
| 76 | --------------- |
| 77 | * Casting fixes. |
| 78 | * Assertions no longer cause an oops on purpose. |
| 79 | * Bug fixes. |
| 80 | |
| 81 | |
| 82 | Version 1.9.4.1 |
| 83 | --------------- |
| 84 | * Add compatibility support. Now requires a 2.1.x, 2.2.x or 2.3.x kernel. |
| 85 | |
| 86 | |
| 87 | Version 1.9.4 |
| 88 | ------------- |
| 89 | * Several enhancements, smaller memory footprint, a few bugfixes. |
| 90 | * Requires kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later. |
| 91 | |
| 92 | |
| 93 | Version 1.9.3 |
| 94 | ------------- |
| 95 | * Bundled with kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later. |
