From c465e05a03209651078b95686158648fd7ed84c5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Antonino A. Daplas" Date: Mon, 7 Nov 2005 01:00:35 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon 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.
