I'm about to implement rotation which is needed for devices like the ipaq.
The question is do we flip the xres and yres values depending on the
rotation or do we just alter the data that will be drawn to make the
screen appear to rotate. How does hardware rotate view the x and y axis?
Are they rotated or does just the data get rotated?

Where are you going to implement the rotation? At the fbcon or fbdev level?
Fbcon has the advantage that it'll work for all frame buffer devices.

But you could also provide driver hooks for the chips which have such a
rotation feature included (don't know if such exist, but i suppose they
do, or may in the future).
So, we also support fbcon for not left to righ locales ?

If the graphics card has hardware support for rotation, then there is
nothing to be done. It's the job of the driver if it wants to rotate
the display or not. This is similar to video overlay mirroring. What
the user app sees is the framebuffer in "normal" orientation, but what
gets displayed is mirrored.
However, as Geert mentioned, if you want to support rotation
generically, then you have to do it in the fbcon level. The driver need
not know if the display is rotated or not. All it needs to do is fill a
region with color, color expand a bitmap and move blocks of data, and
optionally 'pan' the window. Fbcon will pass the correct (ie, oriented)
information for the driver.
This will not be too processor intensive as long as some data is
prepared beforehand, like a rotated fontdata.
The main difficulty with this approach is how do you tell the console to
rotate the display? We cannot use fbset because the changes will not be
visible to fbcon.
I submitted a patch before (see fbdev archives for "Console Rotation"
thread) that rotates the console this way. I had vga16fb, vesafb, and
i810fb rotate the display without any driver code change. Display
panning was also supported.
However, because we use mmap to expose the framebuffer memory, we will
not be able to completely support rotation for user applications. They
have to do it on their own.

We already have a hook for hardware acceleration in struct fb_ops.

The fbdev level will have the functionalty but fbcon is the one that needs
it.

Hooks already exist in struct fb_ops.

That will happen in the core console code.

Yes. Hardware rotation shouldn't also not effect the way accel
operatations are done.

Yeap!! The only thing is we could end up with 4 times the amount of data.

I think it should video fbcon=rotate:90 command line for example.

I seen it and even have it still.

The main difference is if the hardware supports rotation, fbcon will
present it with "normal" data. With the generic implementation, fbcon
will present the driver with rotated data.
So we need a driver capabilities field either in fb_info or
fb_fix_screeninfo.

Not really. We can dynamically rotate the fontdata using the default
display->fontdata into another buffer. I believe I have functions that
do that in the patch I submitted. (Sorry, I lost it when one of my
drives crashed :-(.

We can just test if the rotation hook exist for the fbdev driver. No hook
then use generic code in fbcon. Also we have a angle field in var so we
can see if the user wants the data rotated.

I have that patch. It just has to be updated to the latest changes.
Hi.
I just wanted to inform that kernel-2.5.55 failes to boot when ACPI support is
compiled in the kernel.
I have following configuration; Dell Optiplex GX-240, Pentium 4 (1.5 GHz), ATI
RAGE 128.
Cheers,
Ole J.

How exactly does it fail?
-- Andy
Hi.
The kernel won't boot up.
The screen turns black after I choose kernel-2.5.55 with acpi-support, and
then it reboots.
Where can I find the debug-information of the kernel? Is it /var/log/debug.x?
Cheers,
Ole

Okay. What will the hook do, BTW? Just turn hardware rotation to
the appropriate orientation? Something like...
int fb_rotate(struct fb_info *info, int rotate);
Then we can do something like:
if (info->fbops->fb_rotate) {
info->fbops->fb_rotate(info, FB_ROTATE_CCW);
"pass 'normally' oriented data"
else
"pass data rotated CCW"
}
Also, you may want to place the rotate field in fb_fix_screeninfo
instead. You mentioned that rotation is to be activated at the console
layer, so the rotate field is for informational purposes only.

My brand new Dell Latitude C640 oopses on boot in 2.5.56 if I
have CPU_FREQ config'd in. ACPI without CPU_FREQ is okay - well,
it screws my framebuffer screen (what 2.4.21-pre3 doesn't) when
the ACPI code does its bootup printk's, but after that the
screen recovers.
Another thing is that /proc/acpi/fan is empty despite my setting
of CONFIG_ACPI_FAN=y.
Oh, and one more - /proc/acpi/battery/BAT0/state claims
charging state: unknown
as well as
present rate: 0 mA
remaining capacity: 0 mAh
present voltage: 0 mV
and the info file, when cat'd, prints a few times
dsobject-0188: *** Warning: Buffer created with zero length in AML
Back on topic, if you're interested I can rebuild my 2.5.56 with
CPU_FREQ and write down the backtrace of the oops.

Would be great if you could do that - and tell what oops it is (NULL pointer
dereference etc.), in case you still see that on your screen.

Sigh :(
Rebuilt with CPU_FREQ, doesn't oops. It says
cpufreq: Intel(R) SpeedStep(TM) for this processor not (yet) available
Is the above message expected ? The CPU is a 1.8Ghz mobile P4.
Still puzzled as to why... wait, this was a cold boot, let me try
warmbooting... argh - the disk powered off. Bug 119 :(
Nope, coldbooted in 2.4.21-pre3, rebooted in 2.5.56, still had no
oops with a CPU_FREQ enabled kernel.

2.5.56, you say... let me check... yep, then this patch is missing (it's in
2.5.56-bk). Could you send me a /proc/cpuinfo, please? Especially if this
patch doesn't work :)
