Re: PATCH: Export console functions for use by Software Suspend nicedisplay

[Nigel Cunningham]

Hi.

I'm not sure that write is what I want. At the very least, it will make
the code harder to read and maintain. Here's a small portion of what I'm
currently doing:

/* Print version */
posn[0] = (unsigned char) (0);
posn[1] = (unsigned char) (video_num_lines);
putconsxy(suspend_console, posn);
cond_console_print(swsusp_version, strlen(swsusp_version));
 
/* Print header */
posn[0] = (unsigned char) ((video_num_columns - 29) / 2);
posn[1] = (unsigned char) ((video_num_lines / 3) -4);
putconsxy(suspend_console, posn);
 
The output looks something like this:
-----


              S U S P E N D    T O    D I S K


        Writing caches...
        [--------        120/640MB             ]







2.0-rc4
-----

Bootsplash is also supported, so there's an even nicer version :>

Regards,

Nigel
