help
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
.
Say Y.

config VIDEO_SELECT
bool "Video mode selection support"
depends on (X86 || X86_64) && VGA_CONSOLE
---help---
This enables support for text mode selection on kernel startup. If
you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your
card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like
SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the
"vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set
"vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try
"man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about
how to pass options to the kernel.)
Read the file for more information
about the Video mode selection support. If unsure, say N.
config MDA_CONSOLE
depends on !M68K && ISA
tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
---help---
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 unsure, say N.
config SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE
tristate "SGI Newport Console support"
depends on SGI_IP22
help
Say Y here if you want the console on the Newport aka XL graphics
card of your Indy. Most people say Y here.

depends on PARISC && FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
default y
help
The STI console is the builtin display/keyboard on HP-PARISC
machines. Say Y here to build support for it into your kernel.
The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.
config DUMMY_CONSOLE_COLUMNS
int "Initial number of console screen columns" if STI_CONSOLE
depends on PARISC
default "160"
help
The default value is 160, which should fit a 1280x1024 monitor.
Select 80 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.
config DUMMY_CONSOLE_ROWS
int "Initial number of console screen rows" if STI_CONSOLE
depends on PARISC
default "64"
help
The default value is 64, which should fit a 1280x1024 monitor.
Select 25 if you use a 640x480 resolution by default.

Say Y to build a console driver for Sun machines that uses the
terminal emulation built into their console PROMS.

config FONTS
bool "Select compiled-in fonts"
depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
help
Say Y here if you would like to use fonts other than the default
your frame buffer console usually use.
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).
config FONT_8x8
bool "VGA 8x8 font" if FONTS
depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
default y if !SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && !FONTS
help
This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one
provided by the text console 80x50 (and higher) modes).
Note that this is a poor quality font. The VGA 8x16 font is quite a
lot more readable.
Given the resolution provided by the frame buffer device, answer N
here is safe.
config FONT_8x16
bool "VGA 8x16 font" if FONTS
depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE || SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE=y
default y if !SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && !FONTS

This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one

Small console font with Macintosh-style high-half glyphs. Some Mac
framebuffer drivers don't support this one at all.

This is the high resolution console font for Sun machines with very
big letters (like the letters used in the SPARC PROM). If the
standard font is unreadable for you, say Y, otherwise say N.
