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

29config VIDEO_SELECT
30	bool "Video mode selection support"
31	depends on  X86 && VGA_CONSOLE
32	---help---
33	  This enables support for text mode selection on kernel startup. If
34	  you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your
35	  card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like
36	  SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the
37	  "vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set
38	  "vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try
39	  "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about
40	  how to pass options to the kernel.)
41
42	  Read the file <file:Documentation/svga.txt> for more information
43	  about the Video mode selection support. If unsure, say N.
44
45config MDA_CONSOLE
46	depends on !M68K && !PARISC && ISA
47	tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
48	---help---
49	  Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
50	  adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
51	  will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
52	  say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
53	  normal VGA driver will handle it.
54
55	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
56	  module will be called mdacon.
57
58	  If unsure, say N.
59
60config SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE
61        tristate "SGI Newport Console support"
62        depends on SGI_IP22
63        help
64          Say Y here if you want the console on the Newport aka XL graphics
65          card of your Indy.  Most people say Y here.

69config PROM_CONSOLE
70	bool "PROM console"
71	depends on SPARC
72	help
73	  Say Y to build a console driver for Sun machines that uses the
74	  terminal emulation built into their console PROMS.

76config DUMMY_CONSOLE

84        default "160"
85        help
86          The default value is 160, which should fit a 1280x1024 monitor.
87          Select 80 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.
88
89config DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS
90        int "Initial number of console screen rows"
91        depends on PARISC && DUMMY_CONSOLE
92        default "64"
93        help
94          The default value is 64, which should fit a 1280x1024 monitor.
95          Select 25 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.
96
97config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
98	tristate "Framebuffer Console support"
99	depends on FB
100	select CRC32
101	help
102	  Low-level framebuffer-based console driver.

104config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION
105       bool "Framebuffer Console Rotation"
106       depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
107       help
108         Enable display rotation for the framebuffer console.  This is done
109         in software and may be significantly slower than a normally oriented
110         display.  Note that the rotation is done at the console level only
111         such that other users of the framebuffer will remain normally
112         oriented.
113
114config STI_CONSOLE
115        tristate "STI text console"
116        depends on PARISC
117        default y
118        help
119          The STI console is the builtin display/keyboard on HP-PARISC
120          machines.  Say Y here to build support for it into your kernel.
121          The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.
122
123config FONTS
124	bool "Select compiled-in fonts"
125	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE || STI_CONSOLE
126	help
127	  Say Y here if you would like to use fonts other than the default
128	  your frame buffer console usually use.
129
130	  Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
131	  kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
132	  the questions about foreign fonts.
133
134	  If unsure, say N (the default choices are safe).
135
136config FONT_8x8
137	bool "VGA 8x8 font" if FONTS
138	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE || STI_CONSOLE
139	default y if !SPARC && !FONTS
140	help
141	  This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one
142	  provided by the text console 80x50 (and higher) modes).
143
144	  Note that this is a poor quality font. The VGA 8x16 font is quite a
145	  lot more readable.
146
147	  Given the resolution provided by the frame buffer device, answer N
148	  here is safe.
149
150config FONT_8x16
151	bool "VGA 8x16 font" if FONTS
152	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE || SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE=y || STI_CONSOLE || USB_SISUSBVGA_CON
153	default y if !SPARC && !FONTS
154	help
155	  This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one
156	  provided by the VGA text console 80x25 mode.
157
158	  If unsure, say Y.
159
160config FONT_6x11
161	bool "Mac console 6x11 font (not supported by all drivers)" if FONTS
162	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE || STI_CONSOLE
163	default y if !SPARC && !FONTS && MAC
164	help
165	  Small console font with Macintosh-style high-half glyphs.  Some Mac
166	  framebuffer drivers don't support this one at all.
167
168config FONT_7x14
169	bool "console 7x14 font (not supported by all drivers)" if FONTS
170	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
171	help
172	  Console font with characters just a bit smaller than the default.
173	  If the standard 8x16 font is a little too big for you, say Y.
174	  Otherwise, say N.
175
176config FONT_PEARL_8x8
177	bool "Pearl (old m68k) console 8x8 font" if FONTS
178	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
179	default y if !SPARC && !FONTS && AMIGA
180	help
181	  Small console font with PC-style control-character and high-half
182	  glyphs.
183
184config FONT_ACORN_8x8
185	bool "Acorn console 8x8 font" if FONTS
186	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
187	default y if !SPARC && !FONTS && ARM && ARCH_ACORN

189	  Small console font with PC-style control characters and high-half
190	  glyphs.

203	bool "Sparc console 12x22 font (not supported by all drivers)"
204	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE && (!SPARC && FONTS || SPARC)
205	help
206	  This is the high resolution console font for Sun machines with very
207	  big letters (like the letters used in the SPARC PROM). If the
208	  standard font is unreadable for you, say Y, otherwise say N.
209
210config FONT_10x18
211	bool "console 10x18 font (not supported by all drivers)" if FONTS
212	depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
213	help
214	  This is a high resolution console font for machines with very
215	  big letters. It fits between the sun 12x22 and the normal 8x16 font.
216	  If other fonts are too big or too small for you, say Y, otherwise say N.
