Add support for screen_info setups with VIDEO_TYPE_VLFB. Provide the minimum functionality of reading modes, updating and clearing the display. There is existing support for these displays provided by simpledrm with CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=y. Using vesadrm over simpledrm will allow for the use of additional functionality provided by VESA, such as EDID information, gamma correction and palette modes. This enhances the user experience and adds support for more display configuratons. v4: - depend on CONFIG_X86 v3: - depend on !SYSFB_SIMPLEFB (Javier) Signed-off-by: Thomas Zimmermann <tzimmermann@suse.de> Reviewed-by: Javier Martinez Canillas <javierm@redhat.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250401094056.32904-17-tzimmermann@suse.de
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
