here is a new and extended version of the sisusbvga (previously: sisusb) driver. The patch is against 2.6.13 and updates the driver to version 0.0.8. Additions include complete VGA/EGA text console support and a build-in display mode infrastructure for userland applications that don't know about the graphics internals. Fixes include some BE/LE issues and a get/put_dev bug in the previous version. Other changes include a change of the module name from "sisusb" to "sisusbvga". The previous one was too generic IMHO. Please note that the patch also affects the Makefile in drivers/video/console as the driver requires the VGA 8x16 font in case the text console part is selected. Heavily tested, as usual. Please apply. One thing though: I already prepared for removal of the "mode" field and the changed "name" field in the usb_class_driver structure. This will perhaps need some refinement depending on whether you/Linus merge the respective core changes before or after 2.6.14.

Say Y here if you intend to attach a USB2VGA dongle based on a
|
|
Net2280 and a SiS315 chip.
|
|
|
|
Note that this device requires a USB 2.0 host controller. It will not
|
|
work with USB 1.x controllers.
|
|
|
|
To compile this driver as a module, choose M here; the module will be
|
|
called sisusbvga. If unsure, say N.
|
|
|
|

---help---
|
|
Say Y here if you want a VGA text console via the USB dongle or
|
|
want to support userland applications that utilize the driver's
|
|
display mode switching capabilities.
|
|
|
|
Note that this console supports VGA/EGA text mode only.
|
|
|
|
By default, the console part of the driver will not kick in when
|
|
the driver is initialized. If you want the driver to take over
|
|
one or more of the consoles, you need to specify the number of
|
|
the first and last consoles (starting at 1) as driver parameters.
|
|
|
|
For example, if the driver is compiled as a module:
|
|
|
|
modprobe sisusbvga first=1 last=5
|
|
|
|
If you use hotplug, add this to your modutils config files with
|
|
the "options" keyword, such as eg.
|
|
|
|
options sisusbvga first=1 last=5
|
|
|
|
If the driver is compiled into the kernel image, the parameters
|
|
must be given in the kernel command like, such as
|
|
|
|
sisusbvga.first=1 sisusbvga.last=5
|
|
|
|
