10	default y
11	help
12	  Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a
13	  display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually
14	  everyone wants that.
15
16	  The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to
17	  their full potential in text mode. Download it from
18	  <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/>.

20	  Say Y.

23       bool "Enable Scrollback Buffer in System RAM"

25       default n
26       help
27         The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
28	 the VGA RAM.  The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
29	 If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
30	 System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.
31	 Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
32	 down the console.
33
34	 If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of
35	 RAM to allocate for this buffer.  If unsure, say 'N'.

42         Enter the amount of System RAM to allocate for the scrollback
43	 buffer.  Each 64KB will give you approximately 16 80x25
44	 screenfuls of scrollback buffer

49	---help---
50	  Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
51	  adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
52	  will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
53	  say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
54	  normal VGA driver will handle it.
55
56	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
57	  module will be called mdacon.
58
59	  If unsure, say N.

109       ---help---
110         If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will
111         automatically select the primary display device (if the architecture
112	 supports this feature).  Otherwise, the framebuffer console will
113         always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter
114         is the default behavior.
115
116	 You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device
117	 by using the fbcon=map: boot option.

125         Enable display rotation for the framebuffer console.  This is done
126         in software and may be significantly slower than a normally oriented
127         display.  Note that the rotation is done at the console level only
128         such that other users of the framebuffer will remain normally
129         oriented.

137          machines.  Say Y here to build support for it into your kernel.
138          The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.

144	  Say Y here if you would like to use fonts other than the default
145	  your frame buffer console usually use.
146
147	  Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
148	  kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
149	  the questions about foreign fonts.
