12	default y
13	help
14	  Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a
15	  display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually
16	  everyone wants that.
17
18	  The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to
19	  their full potential in text mode. Download it from
20	  <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/>.
21
22	  Say Y.

24config VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK
25       bool "Enable Scrollback Buffer in System RAM"

27       default n
28       help
29         The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
30	 the VGA RAM.  The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
31	 If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
32	 System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.
33	 Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
34	 down the console.
35
36	 If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of
37	 RAM to allocate for this buffer.  If unsure, say 'N'.
38
39config VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE

44       help
45	  Enter the amount of System RAM to allocate for scrollback
46	  buffers of VGA consoles. Each 64KB will give you approximately
47	  16 80x25 screenfuls of scrollback buffer.

49config VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_PERSISTENT_ENABLE_BY_DEFAULT
50	bool "Persistent Scrollback History for each console by default"
51	depends on VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK
52	default n
53	help
54	  Say Y here if the scrollback history should persist by default when
55	  switching between consoles. Otherwise, the scrollback history will be
56	  flushed each time the console is switched. This feature can also be
57	  enabled using the boot command line parameter
58	  'vgacon.scrollback_persistent=1'.
59
60	  This feature might break your tool of choice to flush the scrollback
61	  buffer, e.g. clear(1) will work fine but Debian's clear_console(1)
62	  will be broken, which might cause security issues.
63	  You can use the escape sequence \e[3J instead if this feature is
64	  activated.
65
66	  Note that a buffer of VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE is taken for each
67	  created tty device.
68	  So if you use a RAM-constrained system, say N here.

70config MDA_CONSOLE
71	depends on !M68K && !PARISC && ISA

73	---help---
74	  Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
75	  adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
76	  will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
77	  say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
78	  normal VGA driver will handle it.
79
80	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
81	  module will be called mdacon.
82
83	  If unsure, say N.

132         If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will
133         automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture
134	 supports this feature).  Otherwise, the framebuffer console will
135         always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter
136         is the default behavior.
137
138	 You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device
139	 by using the fbcon=map: boot option.
140
141	 If unsure, select n.

146       help
147         Enable display rotation for the framebuffer console.  This is done
148         in software and may be significantly slower than a normally oriented
149         display.  Note that the rotation is done at the console level only
150         such that other users of the framebuffer will remain normally
151         oriented.

153config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_DEFERRED_TAKEOVER

156	help
157	  If enabled this defers the framebuffer console taking over the
158	  console from the dummy console until the first text is displayed on
159	  the console. This is useful in combination with the "quiet" kernel
160	  commandline option to keep the framebuffer contents initially put up
161	  by the firmware in place, rather then replacing the contents with a
162	  black screen as soon as fbcon loads.

170          The STI console is the builtin display/keyboard on HP-PARISC

172          The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.
