Subject: radeonfb_pci_register video memory clear?
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 2004 22:20:17 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <40D3A2E1.2060100@undead.cc> (raw)
I'm just wondering why the clearing of video memory was added to
radeonfb_pci_register? The memory still belongs to vgacon at this
point. There are a few other problems with this: there is a noticable
delay while the screen is totaly blank, vgacon can't save the text
screen to the shadow buffer, and all further output until the takeover
is invisible (vga font is wiped) so an oops here wouldn't be readable.
John
