Subject: [PATCH 3/5] vgacon: Use vt_font_cursor_{start,end}()
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 11:25:21 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911094518.78093-4-tzimmermann@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260911094518.78093-1-tzimmermann@suse.de>
Replace vgacon's custom cursor metrics with the shared helpers
vc_font_cursor_start() and vc_font_cursor_end(). Note that the
_end() function returns the index of the scanline below the cursor,
while VGA hardware expects the cursor's final scanline. Hence vgacon
subtracts 1 from the end value.
The cursor shapes remain mostly unchanged, except that non-underline
cursors now also use the glyph's top-most and bottom-most scanline.
This follows the style used by fbcon.
