From 9f0346dcbea363787186c94ef94dd01aaa215afa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Linus Torvalds Date: Sat, 5 Sep 2026 11:59:05 -0700 Subject: Merge tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core Pull driver core fixes from Danilo Krummrich: - Fix kernfs listxattr() not returning security xattr names (e.g. SELinux labels) when the kernfs node has no allocated kernfs_iattrs - Fix silent truncation of IRQ vector indices in the Rust PCI abstractions - Don't select OF from DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST; skip the test when OF is disabled instead of silently enabling extra kernel functionality - Russ Weight is retiring from kernel development; update the Firmware Loader sysfs contact to the driver-core mailing list, add a CREDITS entry for Firmware Upload, and update MAINTAINERS accordingly * tag 'driver-core-7.3-rc2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/driver-core/driver-core: MAINTAINERS: Remove Russ Weight from Firmware Loader CREDITS: Add CREDITS entry for Firmware Upload firmware_loader: Change contact for sysfs nodes rust: pci: reject IRQ vector indices that do not fit in u32 kernfs: preserve security xattrs without allocating iattrs drivers: base: test: DRIVER_PE_KUNIT_TEST should not select OF --- Documentation/fb/pvr2fb.rst | 66 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 66 insertions(+) create mode 100644 Documentation/fb/pvr2fb.rst (limited to 'Documentation/fb/pvr2fb.rst') diff --git a/Documentation/fb/pvr2fb.rst b/Documentation/fb/pvr2fb.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..315ce085a --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/fb/pvr2fb.rst @@ -0,0 +1,66 @@ +=============================================== +pvr2fb - PowerVR 2 graphics frame buffer driver +=============================================== + +This is a driver for PowerVR 2 based graphics frame buffers, such as the +one found in the Dreamcast. + +Advantages: + + * It provides a nice large console (128 cols + 48 lines with 1024x768) + without using tiny, unreadable fonts (NOT on the Dreamcast) + * You can run XF86_FBDev on top of /dev/fb0 + * Most important: boot logo :-) + +Disadvantages: + + * Driver is largely untested on non-Dreamcast systems. + +Configuration +============= + +You can pass kernel command line options to pvr2fb with +`video=pvr2fb:option1,option2:value2,option3` (multiple options should be +separated by comma, values are separated from options by `:`). + +Accepted options: + +========== ================================================================== +font:X default font to use.
