|  | Default video modes | 
|  | ------------------- | 
|  | At the moment, there are two kernel command line arguments supported: | 
|  |  | 
|  | mode:640x480 | 
|  | mode:800x600 | 
|  | or | 
|  | mode:1024x768 | 
|  |  | 
|  | Full support for startup video modes (modedb) will be integrated soon. | 
|  |  | 
|  | Version 1.9.9.1 | 
|  | --------------- | 
|  | * Fix memory detection for 512kB case | 
|  | * 800x600 mode | 
|  | * Fixed timings | 
|  | * Hint for AXP: Use -accel false -vyres -1 when changing resolution | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | Version 1.9.4.4 | 
|  | --------------- | 
|  | * Preliminary Laguna support | 
|  | * Overhaul color register routines. | 
|  | * Associated with the above, console colors are now obtained from a LUT | 
|  | called 'palette' instead of from the VGA registers.  This code was | 
|  | modelled after that in atyfb and matroxfb. | 
|  | * Code cleanup, add comments. | 
|  | * Overhaul SR07 handling. | 
|  | * Bug fixes. | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | Version 1.9.4.3 | 
|  | --------------- | 
|  | * Correctly set default startup video mode. | 
|  | * Do not override ram size setting.  Define | 
|  | CLGEN_USE_HARDCODED_RAM_SETTINGS if you _do_ want to override the RAM | 
|  | setting. | 
|  | * Compile fixes related to new 2.3.x IORESOURCE_IO[PORT] symbol changes. | 
|  | * Use new 2.3.x resource allocation. | 
|  | * Some code cleanup. | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | Version 1.9.4.2 | 
|  | --------------- | 
|  | * Casting fixes. | 
|  | * Assertions no longer cause an oops on purpose. | 
|  | * Bug fixes. | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | Version 1.9.4.1 | 
|  | --------------- | 
|  | * Add compatibility support.  Now requires a 2.1.x, 2.2.x or 2.3.x kernel. | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | Version 1.9.4 | 
|  | ------------- | 
|  | * Several enhancements, smaller memory footprint, a few bugfixes. | 
|  | * Requires kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later. | 
|  |  | 
|  |  | 
|  | Version 1.9.3 | 
|  | ------------- | 
|  | * Bundled with kernel 2.3.14-pre1 or later. |
