More progress with kgicon
Hi !
I've committed a new'n'improved fbcon-kgi.c which fixes many bugs
(palette setting, panning, splitline) but more importantly changes the
way initialization works : it is no longer "init_kgi() sets mode and
then we create a var_screeninfo" it is now "first create a var_screeninfo
and then set the mode in kgifb_set_var()". The mode is changed at each
VT switch -- so it is possible to have, eg, VT 1 is 320x200[8], VT 2 is
640x200[16] and VT 3 is 640x400[32] (well I guess this is pretty
obvious, but I'm still happy about it :->).
BTW changing modes is just by:
fbset -fb /dev/fb1 -g 640 400 640 400 32
but if the mode isn't allowed the you can end up with just a black
screen (or worse... I got an instant reboot by using a funny depth).
Cheers,
