Many years ago when this driver was written, it had a use, but these days it's nothing but trouble and distributions should not enable it in any situation. Pretty much every console device a sparc machine could see has a bonafide real driver, making the PROM console hack unnecessary. If any new device shows up, we should write a driver instead of depending upon this crutch to save us. We've been able to take care of this even when no chip documentation exists (sunxvr500, sunxvr2500) so there are no excuses. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a

display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually

everyone wants that.

The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to

their full potential in text mode. Download it from

help
|
|
The scrollback buffer of the standard VGA console is located in
|
|
the VGA RAM. The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small.
|
|
If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in
|
|
System RAM which is dynamically allocated during initialization.
|
|
Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow
|
|
down the console.
|
|
|
|
If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of
|
|
RAM to allocate for this buffer. If unsure, say 'N'.

Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics

adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You

will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not

say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the

normal VGA driver will handle it.

To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the

module will be called mdacon.

If this option is selected, the framebuffer console will

Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the

kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all

the questions about foreign fonts.

If unsure, say N (the default choices are safe).
