Now it works as the old -SCROLL_REDRAW mode. A ton of code was removed in fbcon.c and the hook bmove was -removed from fbcon_ops. -Remaining tasks: +Scroll acceleration is disabled in fbcon by hard-wiring p->scrollmode = +SCROLL_REDRAW. There's a ton of code this will allow us to remove: -- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops could be removed or simplified by calling +- lots of code in fbcon.c + +- a bunch of the hooks in fbcon_ops, maybe the remaining hooks could be called directly instead of the function table (with a switch on p->rotate) - fb_copyarea is unused after this, and can be deleted from all drivers -- after that, fb_copyarea can be deleted from fb_ops in include/linux/fb.h as - well as cfb_copyarea - Note that not all acceleration code can be deleted, since clearing and cursor support is still accelerated, which might be good candidates for further deletion projects. |
