help

Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a

display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually

everyone wants that.

The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to

their full potential in text mode. Download it from

<ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/>.

Say Y.

config VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK

bool "Enable Scrollback Buffer in System RAM"

depends on VGA_CONSOLE

default n

help

The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in

the VGA RAM. The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.

If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in

System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.

Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow

down the console.

If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of

RAM to allocate for this buffer. If unsure, say 'N'.

Enter the amount of System RAM to allocate for the scrollback

buffer. Each 64KB will give you approximately 16 80x25

screenfuls of scrollback buffer

tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"

---help---

Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics

adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You

will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not

say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the

normal VGA driver will handle it.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

module will be called mdacon.

If unsure, say N.

---help---

104

If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will

105

automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture

106

supports this feature). Otherwise, the framebuffer console will

107

always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter

108

is the default behavior.

You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device

Enable display rotation for the framebuffer console. This is done

120

in software and may be significantly slower than a normally oriented

121

display. Note that the rotation is done at the console level only
