From f1f6baf8f1df29be38003089787e378567ce0086 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "H. Peter Anvin" Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 18:32:06 -0800 Subject: x86, setup: When restoring the screen, update boot_params.screen_info When we restore the screen content after a mode change, we return the cursor to its former position. However, we need to also update boot_params.screen_info accordingly, so that the decompression code knows where on the screen the cursor is. Just in case the video BIOS does something extra screwy, read the cursor position back from the BIOS instead of relying on it doing the right thing. While we're at it, make sure we cap the cursor position to the new screen coordinates.

Peter Anvin" Date: Fri, 19 Feb 2010 13:21:38 -0800 Subject: x86, setup: Don't skip mode setting for the standard VGA modes The code for setting standard VGA modes probes for the current mode, and skips the mode setting if the mode is 3 (color text 80x25) or 7 (mono text 80x25). Unfortunately, there are BIOSes, including the VMware BIOS, which report the previous mode if function 0F is queried while the screen is in a VESA mode, and of course, nothing can help a mode poked directly into the hardware. As such, the safe option is to set the mode anyway, and only query to see if we should be using mode 7 rather than mode 3. People who don't want any mode setting at all should probably use vga=0x0f04 (VIDEO_CURRENT_MODE). It's possible that should be the kernel default. Reported-by Rene Arends Signed-off-by: H.
