I've committed a minor overhaul of grf device support (including console
initialization) to the tree. This should be a vast improvement in
general. There are a couple of things worth mention with regard to this:
- Some programs that use old-style grf operations -- notably, Ken's old
OSFA X server -- may not operate properly with these changes. This
isn't actually a problem with the changes themselves, but is rather
something that they uncovered. (Ken is aware of the problem.)
- The Booter option -- ahem, `hack' -- to wire the video address on the
Performa/LC 475/575 systems is no longer necessary.
These changes will be available at the next SUP run.
A pretty fair number of folks contributed to this, either with testing,
feedback, or code, and we all owe them a debt of gratitude. In no
particular order:
Michael Zucca
Allen Briggs
Colin Wood
Dave Huang
Ken Nakata
Bill Studenmund
Paul Goyette
Yasuhiro Endoh
Steve Allen
Thanks to all! (If I missed your name in the above list, please accept my
profound apologies. I'll rectify it as quickly as is practical.)
