According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.
Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.
The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

nvidiafb didn't fully hook-up the code it borrowed from X for doing flat
panel dithering (this is useful for 6 bits panels). This adds a driver
option to force it, and by default "reads" the current value from the chip
to get the firmware setting. It significantly improves the quality of
images on the iMac G5 I have here (though the X driver doesn't yet "read"
the current value and defaults to 0, so you have to add Option "FBDither"
"true" to your X config file to get that, I'll try to fix X.org to "read"
the default unless specified asap).

This patch fixes nvifiafb mode setting code to be closer to what the X
driver does, which actually makes it work on the 5200FX I have access to.
It also fix the routine that gets the EDID from Open Firmware on PPC, it
was broken in various ways and would crash at boot. Compared to the patch
I posted to linux-fbdev last week, this one just changes a printk to be
closer to the other ones in the driver.

This adds support for the Nvidia Geforce 7800 series of cards to the
nvidiafb framebuffer driver. All it does is add the PCI device id for
the 7800, 7800 GTX, 7800 GO, and 7800 GTX GO cards to the module device
table for the nvidiafb.ko driver, so that nvidiafb.ko will actually work
on these cards.
I also added the relevant PCI device ids to linux/pci_ids.h
I tested it on my 7800 GTX here and it works like a charm. I now can
get framebuffer support on this card! Woo hoo!! Nothing like 200x75 text
mode to make your eyes BLEED. ;)

A recent change in nvidiafb caused nvidiafb_cursor to always return -ENXIO
instead of using the soft_cursor. This will happen if the parameter "hwcur"
is not set, which happens to be the default.

Currently, fbcon assumes that the visual FB_VISUAL_MONO* is always 1 bit.
According to Geert, there are old hardware where it's possible to have
monochrome at 8-bit, but has only 2 colors, black - 0x00 and white - 0xff.
Fix color handlers (fb_get_color_depth, and get_color) for this special case.

This patch removes drivers that have hardware cursors from calling the
software cursor code. Also if the driver sets a no hardware cursor flag
then the driver reports a error it someone attempts to use the cursor.

Reported by:Vincent Fortier (Bugzilla Bug 4768)
"At boot time the screen appears moved to the mid right portion of the actual
video pannel making the end of the line appears at the left edge... It simply
looks like moved half way to the right"
His particular hardware has a display with an unusual dimension (1920x1200) but
unfortunately has no EDID block. None of the entries in the global mode
database is correct for this particular display, and it particularly has
difficulty scaling up 640x480 (the default startup mode of nvidiafb) to
1920x1200 which causes the above described problem.
1, Add 1920x1200 to the global mode database.
2. Let nvidiafb base the startup mode from the flatpanel dimensions only if the
EDID block is absent, no boot mode parameter is specified by the user, and
a flatpanel/LCD display is attached.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
