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/>. 19 20 Say Y. 21 22config VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK 23 bool "Enable Scrollback Buffer in System RAM" 24 depends on VGA_CONSOLE 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'. 36 37config VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK_SIZE 38 int "Scrollback Buffer Size (in KB)" 39 depends on VGACON_SOFT_SCROLLBACK 40 range 1 1024 41 default "64" 42 help 43 Enter the amount of System RAM to allocate for the scrollback 44 buffer.

You 53 will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not 54 say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the 55 normal VGA driver will handle it. 56 57 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 58 module will be called mdacon. 59 60 If unsure, say N. 61 62config SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE 63 tristate "SGI Newport Console support" 64 depends on SGI_IP22 65 help 66 Say Y here if you want the console on the Newport aka XL graphics 67 card of your Indy.

Otherwise, the framebuffer console will 105 always select the first framebuffer driver that is loaded. The latter 106 is the default behavior. 107 108 You can always override the automatic selection of the primary device 109 by using the fbcon=map: boot option. 110 111 If unsure, select n. 112 113config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE_ROTATION 114 bool "Framebuffer Console Rotation" 115 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE 116 help 117 Enable display rotation for the framebuffer console. This is done 118 in software and may be significantly slower than a normally oriented 119 display. Note that the rotation is done at the console level only 120 such that other users of the framebuffer will remain normally 121 oriented. 122 123config STI_CONSOLE 124 bool "STI text console" 125 depends on PARISC 126 default y 127 help 128 The STI console is the builtin display/keyboard on HP-PARISC 129 machines.
