+ default y
+ help
+ Saying Y here will allow you to use Linux in text mode through a
+ display that complies with the generic VGA standard. Virtually
+ everyone wants that.
+
+ The program SVGATextMode can be used to utilize SVGA video cards to
+ their full potential in text mode. Download it from
+ <ftp://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/console/>.
+
+ Say Y.

+config VIDEO_SELECT
+ bool "Video mode selection support"
+ depends on (X86 || X86_64) && VGA_CONSOLE
+ ---help---
+ This enables support for text mode selection on kernel startup. If
+ you want to take advantage of some high-resolution text mode your
+ card's BIOS offers, but the traditional Linux utilities like
+ SVGATextMode don't, you can say Y here and set the mode using the
+ "vga=" option from your boot loader (lilo or loadlin) or set
+ "vga=ask" which brings up a video mode menu on kernel startup. (Try
+ "man bootparam" or see the documentation of your boot loader about
+ how to pass options to the kernel.)
+
+ Read the file <file:Documentation/svga.txt> for more information
+ about the Video mode selection support. If unsure, say N.
+
+config MDA_CONSOLE
+ depends on !M68K && !PARISC && ISA
+ tristate "MDA text console (dual-headed) (EXPERIMENTAL)"
+ ---help---
+ Say Y here if you have an old MDA or monochrome Hercules graphics
+ adapter in your system acting as a second head ( = video card). You
+ will then be able to use two monitors with your Linux system. Do not
+ say Y here if your MDA card is the primary card in your system; the
+ normal VGA driver will handle it.
+
+ To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+ module will be called mdacon.
+
+ If unsure, say N.
+
+config SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE
+ tristate "SGI Newport Console support"
+ depends on SGI_IP22
+ help
+ Say Y here if you want the console on the Newport aka XL graphics
+ card of your Indy. Most people say Y here.

+ depends on PARISC && DUMMY_CONSOLE
+ default "64"

+
+config STI_CONSOLE
+ tristate "STI text console"
+ depends on PARISC
+ default y
+ help
+ The STI console is the builtin display/keyboard on HP-PARISC
+ machines. Say Y here to build support for it into your kernel.
+ The alternative is to use your primary serial port as a console.
+
+config FONTS
+ bool "Select compiled-in fonts"
+ depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
+ help
+ Say Y here if you would like to use fonts other than the default
+ your frame buffer console usually use.
+
+ Note that the answer to this question won't directly affect the
+ kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all
+ the questions about foreign fonts.
+
+ If unsure, say N (the default choices are safe).
+
+config FONT_8x8
+ bool "VGA 8x8 font" if FONTS
+ depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE
+ default y if !SPARC32 && !SPARC64 && !FONTS
+ help
+ This is the "high resolution" font for the VGA frame buffer (the one
+ provided by the text console 80x50 (and higher) modes).
+
+ Note that this is a poor quality font. The VGA 8x16 font is quite a
+ lot more readable.
+
+ Given the resolution provided by the frame buffer device, answer N
+ here is safe.
+
+config FONT_8x16
+ bool "VGA 8x16 font" if FONTS
+ depends on FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE || SGI_NEWPORT_CONSOLE=y
