| 33 | Default video modes | |
| 34 | ------------------- | |
| 35 | At the moment, there are two kernel command line arguments supported: | |
| 36 | ||
| ab42b818 MCC |
37 | - mode:640x480 |
| 38 | - mode:800x600 | |
| 39 | - mode:1024x768 | |

| 41 | Full support for startup video modes (modedb) will be integrated soon. | |
| 42 | ||
| 43 | Version 1.9.9.1 | |
| 44 | --------------- | |
| 45 | * Fix memory detection for 512kB case | |
| 46 | * 800x600 mode | |
| 47 | * Fixed timings | |
| 48 | * Hint for AXP: Use -accel false -vyres -1 when changing resolution | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | ||
| 51 | Version 1.9.4.4 | |
| 52 | --------------- | |
| 53 | * Preliminary Laguna support | |
| 54 | * Overhaul color register routines. | |
| 55 | * Associated with the above, console colors are now obtained from a LUT | |
| 56 | called 'palette' instead of from the VGA registers. This code was | |
| f884ab15 | 57 | modelled after that in atyfb and matroxfb. |
| 1da177e4 LT |
58 | * Code cleanup, add comments. |
| 59 | * Overhaul SR07 handling. | |
| 60 | * Bug fixes. | |
| 61 | ||
| 62 | ||
| 63 | Version 1.9.4.3 | |
| 64 | --------------- | |
| 65 | * Correctly set default startup video mode. | |
| 66 | * Do not override ram size setting. Define | |
| 67 | CLGEN_USE_HARDCODED_RAM_SETTINGS if you _do_ want to override the RAM | |
| 68 | setting. | |
| 69 | * Compile fixes related to new 2.3.x IORESOURCE_IO[PORT] symbol changes. | |
| 70 | * Use new 2.3.x resource allocation. | |
| 71 | * Some code cleanup. | |
| 72 | ||
| 73 | ||
| 74 | Version 1.9.4.2 | |
| 75 | --------------- | |
| 76 | * Casting fixes. | |
| 77 | * Assertions no longer cause an oops on purpose. | |
| 78 | * Bug fixes. | |
| 79 | ||
| 80 | ||
| 81 | Version 1.9.4.1 | |
| 82 | --------------- | |
| 83 | * Add compatibility support. Now requires a 2.1.x, 2.2.x or 2.3.x kernel. | |
| 84 | ||
| 85 | ||
| 86 | Version 1.9.4 | |
| 87 | ------------- | |
| 88 | * Several enhancements, smaller memory footprint, a few bugfixes. | |
| 89 | * Requires kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later. | |
| 90 | ||
| 91 | ||
| 92 | Version 1.9.3 | |
| 93 | ------------- | |
| 94 | * Bundled with kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later. |
