The size of this RAM is fixed and is quite small. 36 If you require a larger scrollback buffer, this can be placed in 37 System RAM which is dynamically allocated during intialization. 38 Placing the scrollback buffer in System RAM will slightly slow 39 down the console. 40 41 If you want this feature, say 'Y' here and enter the amount of 42 RAM to allocate for this buffer.

If 58 you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your 59 card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like 60 SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the 61 "vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set 62 "vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try 63 "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about 64 how to pass options to the kernel.) 65 66 Read the file <file:Documentation/svga.txt> for more information 67 about the Video mode selection support.

Do not 76 say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the 77 normal VGA driver will handle it. 78 79 To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the 80 module will be called mdacon. 81 82 If unsure, say N. 83 84config SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE 85 tristate "SGI Newport Console support" 86 depends on SGI_IP22 87 help 88 Say Y here if you want the console on the Newport aka XL graphics 89 card of your Indy.
