Without + that change it was impossible to use all available memory, and without + access to all available memory it is impossible to ywrap. + + - The imageblit function now uses hardware acceleration for all font + widths. Hardware blitting across pixel column 2048 is broken in the + cyberblade/i1 graphics core, but we work around that hardware bug. + + - modes with vxres != xres are supported now. + + - ywrap scrolling is supported now and the default. This is a big + performance gain. + + - default video modes use vyres > yres and vxres > xres to allow + almost optimal scrolling speed for normal and rotated screens + + - some features mainly usefull for debugging the upper layers of the + framebuffer system have been added, have a look at the code + + - fixed: Oops after unloading cyblafb when reading /proc/io* + + - we work around some bugs of the higher framebuffer layers. |
