ruby CVS updates

[Aivils S. <Aiv...@un...>]

Hi all!
     ruby-2.6 moving. Now /dev/tty0 must work correct. /dev/tty0 now
works similar Linus tree kernel. /dev/tty0 is current for each VT. We have
multiple current ttys. Process get current tty depend from VT , where
process
was spawned. Now VCs of VT are shifted. VGA has vc:1-16. DUMMY has only one
VC per VT.
     Keyboard leds switch incorrect when user switch from one VC to another
- this one fixed now.
     Uploaded initial version of framebuffer console. Thanks James Linus
tree kernel already has ruby friendly fbcon code. Porting to ruby is
relative
easy. fbcon right now can serve only one framebuffer device driver
correctly.
Real multiuser, where each fb device has a keyboard, will be added in
future.
If You will test this code, then please select one fb device driver only.
In
my case, fbcon works with Voodoo3. Of course fbcon contain some bugs. You
have
simple arithmetic - if I not clean vgacon during one year, then fbcon is
hopeless :-( Oops You can do via ioctl on /dev/fbX , because they are
untested
and dangerous. fbcon take over VGA console. In real-multiuser case each new
fb device should not take over VGA - we must have kernel command line
options
for each framebuffer device driver. All fb drivers use one fbcon.

TODO: sync to recent kernel.

Hi Aivils,
first test run of your ruby-2.6 and everything seems to work really good :-)
this was actually with test4 on my main PC, will report later how does it
play
with mga( i have to first reinstall MDK cooker on it)

* hotplug is working :-)
- small adjustment needed for the PHYS id's of usb device:
2.6 -> usb-0000:00:10.1-....
2.4 -> usb-00:10.1-....

* fbcon is working nicely too
- i assume the vodoo fb driver is to blame for your cursor problems
 here everything is OK with a radeon 7500
- fbcon reports unresolved symbols if compiled as module 

- vc_count & 16 VC's for VGA console : 
 one should adjust vt[x] in dm configuration on switching from 2.4 to 2.6
and reverse
? could this be integrated in 2.4 too, so no changes in the configuration
are needed ?

loading rivafb (for my Geforce4)  doesn't take over fbcon on the radeon
(built in)

can you explain more about the arithmetic :-)
