4605 5655 d 15 h decky /branches/snapshot/ add task snapshoting branch  
4320 5724 d 20 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/src/drivers/ega/ avoid touching EGA video memory or cursor in silent mode  
4311 5727 d 16 h decky /trunk/ change the way how input devices are wired together according to ticket #44
(also the proposal http://lists.modry.cz/cgi-bin/private/helenos-devel/2009-March/002507.html)
 
4251 5742 d 13 h decky /trunk/kernel/ ia32, amd64: do not reboot via a triple fault (which is nasty), but use the i8042 controller to trigger CPU reset  
4223 5745 d 13 h decky /trunk/kernel/ represent special keystrokes (cursor arrows, page up/down, delete, etc.) as appropriate Unicode characters
do not parse ANSI control sequences in kconsole, but in serial line driver
 
4220 5745 d 21 h decky /trunk/kernel/ update for string changes  
4190 5755 d 3 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/src/drivers/ega/ convert Unicode characters to OEM (a.k.a. 437) code page
add colors to EGA output
 
4177 5755 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/ use Unicode font glyphs and mapping for framebuffer  
4148 5761 d 18 h decky /trunk/ as kernel little brother drivers are not needed anymore, the device numbers do not have to be correlated between kernel and uspace in any way
introduce new syscall sys_device_assign_devno() for generating system-wide unique device numbers for uspace
 
4119 5766 d 20 h decky /trunk/ get back support for framebuffer and keyboard for sparc64 (generic)  
4094 5767 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/ update for the new scheme of wiring device drivers to keyboard/serial modules  
4093 5767 d 11 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/src/ chardev_t -> outdev_t
small fixes and cleanups
 
4078 5767 d 17 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/ add dummy serial line input and output drivers  
4042 5772 d 13 h jermar /trunk/ Complete emancipation of kernel serial controller drivers (i8042, ns16550 and
z8530). Provide a common keyboard module for PC and Sun keyboards. The serial
line module is still to follow.
 
3994 5777 d 15 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/src/drivers/ega/ make sure the EGA framebuffer is initialized with proper attributes  
3975 5780 d 16 h decky /trunk/kernel/genarch/src/drivers/ega/ keep original contents of the EGA framebuffer,
make sure the cursor is on
 
3940 5787 d 12 h decky /trunk/kernel/ make hw_area API more generic
this allows mapping of EGA VRAM on ia32/amd64
 
3930 5788 d 7 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Adapt most of the kernel to ioport8_t, ioport16_t and ioport32_t types.  
3908 5791 d 10 h decky /trunk/ overhaul pareas: use one single physical area for the physical address space not belonging to physical memory  
3902 5792 d 14 h jermar /trunk/kernel/ Introduce a more platform-neutral name for programmed I/O.

The new API looks like pio_read_n() or pio_write_n(), where n is 8, 16 or 32.
The old API (i.e. inb(), inw(), inl(), outb() outw(), outl()) may have made
some people think that the interface is only to be used with the separate I/O
space. That's not the case. This API is to be implemented on all platforms
so that we can finally have really generic kernel device drivers.
