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
16 The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to
17 their full potential in text mode. Download it from

30 bool "Video mode selection support"
31 depends on (X86 || X86_64) && VGA_CONSOLE
33 This enables support for text mode selection on kernel startup. If
34 you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your
35 card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like
36 SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the
37 "vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set
38 "vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try
39 "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about
40 how to pass options to the kernel.)
42 Read the file <file:Documentation/svga.txt> for more information
43 about the Video mode selection support. If unsure, say N.
46 depends on !M68K && !PARISC && ISA
47 tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
49 Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
50 adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
51 will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
52 say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
53 normal VGA driver will handle it.
55 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
56 module will be called mdacon.
60 config SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE
61 tristate "SGI Newport Console support"
64 Say Y here if you want the console on the Newport aka XL graphics
65 card of your Indy. Most people say Y here.
67 # bool 'IODC console' CONFIG_IODC_CONSOLE
71 depends on SPARC32 || SPARC64
73 Say Y to build a console driver for Sun machines that uses the
74 terminal emulation built into their console PROMS.

81 config DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS
82 int "Initial number of console screen columns"
83 depends on PARISC && DUMMY_CONSOLE
86 The default value is 160, which should fit a 1280x1024 monitor.
87 Select 80 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.
89 config DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS
90 int "Initial number of console screen rows"
91 depends on PARISC && DUMMY_CONSOLE
94 The default value is 64, which should fit a 1280x1024 monitor.
95 Select 25 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.
97 config FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
98 tristate "Framebuffer Console support"
103 tristate "STI text console"
107 The STI console is the builtin display/keyboard on HP-PARISC
108 machines. Say Y here to build support for it into your kernel.
109 The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.
112 bool "Select compiled-in fonts"
113 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
115 Say Y here if you would like to use fonts other than the default
116 your frame buffer console usually use.
118 Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
119 kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
120 the questions about foreign fonts.
122 If unsure, say N (the default choices are safe).
125 bool "VGA 8x8 font" if FONTS
126 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
127 default y if !SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && !FONTS
129 This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one
130 provided by the text console 80x50 (and higher) modes).
132 Note that this is a poor quality font. The VGA 8x16 font is quite a
135 Given the resolution provided by the frame buffer device, answer N
139 bool "VGA 8x16 font" if FONTS
140 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE || SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE=y
141 default y if !SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && !FONTS
143 This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one
144 provided by the VGA text console 80x25 mode.
149 bool "Mac console 6x11 font (not supported by all drivers)" if FONTS
150 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
151 default y if !SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && !FONTS && MAC
153 Small console font with Macintosh-style high-half glyphs. Some Mac
154 framebuffer drivers don't support this one at all.
156 config FONT_PEARL_8x8
157 bool "Pearl (old m68k) console 8x8 font" if FONTS
158 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
159 default y if !SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && !FONTS && AMIGA

177 bool "Sparc console 8x16 font"
178 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE && (!SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && FONTS || SPARC32 || SPARC64)
180 This is the high resolution console font for Sun machines. Say Y.
183 bool "Sparc console 12x22 font (not supported by all drivers)"
184 depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE && (!SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && FONTS || SPARC32 || SPARC64)
186 This is the high resolution console font for Sun machines with very
187 big letters (like the letters used in the SPARC PROM). If the
188 standard font is unreadable for you, say Y, otherwise say N.
