We currently use the first mode in the list if no mode is explicitely specified
by the caller. However, this is most often the lowest available resolution
reported by the kernel.
This patch adds a new pointer to every output which remembers a sane default.
This is currently the first mode reported by the kernel but may later be
optimized to choose a better default mode.

We simply forward all log messages to stderr. We use syslog/prink-like severity
prefixes. Use systemd or alike to forward stderr to syslog, kernel-log or
similar.

stay black if the application is killed.

The crtc is saved from kmscon_output_activate, and restored from
kmscon_output_deactivate.
This means that when the program exits, the screen is back to what it
was - we don't need to switch back VTs if we started the program from an
fbcon, etc.

This commit adds basic autoconf + automake files to build the project.
It also adds a main.c stub in order to simulate the main binary.
The configure script uses pkg-config to find the libraries. The usual
stuff should work. The only additional option right now is:
./configure --enable-debug [To enable debugging symbols]
The Makefile should also support the standard stuff:
make [To build the kmscon binary]
make check [To build the test_* binaries]
make dist [To create a tarball]
make clean
make install
etc.
To start from a clean tree (e.g. git clean -dfx), do something like the
following:
./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-debug CFLAGS=-O0
make
It all should work well enough for now.

Similar to libvte we could speed up font-drawing by using cairo_scaled_font_t to
bypass pango entirely if a glyph is already in the hash-table.

To avoid redrawing the whole layout every time, we now support caching a single
glyph-string if it consists of only one run.
This should speed up drawing considerably. We still support drawing the whole
layout as fall-back method.

When resizing a kmscon_console object we automatically create a new font because
all cached objects get invalid now.
Signed-off-by: David Herrmann <dh.herrmann@googlemail.com>
A kmscon_font object is used to store the current font information. It allows to
draw any kind of UTF-8 string to the screen. Internally, it uses kmscon_glyph to
store glyph information for every character that has been drawn so redrawing it
is much faster.
Currently, we only support GLYPH_LAYOUT as caching method which is quite slow.
However, it supports any kind of input and always works. Better and faster
caching algorithms like cairo_scaled_font_t will be added later.

This test application prints a console on all connected outputs. It does not
emulate any terminal but instead just prints the test-console.
It can be used to test the console subsystem in connection with the DRM/KMS
output subsystem.

A console may be displayed on multiple outputs. We allow different screen
resolutions on these outputs so we need a way to map the console image onto
different outputs.
We simply render the console image into a cairo surface with a user-given
resolution. This should be set to the highest resultion of the used outputs. The
application can now map this image onto the different framebuffers. This will
scale the image if the target framebuffer is smaller than the cairo surface.
We also do not clear the framebuffer. This should be done by the user. This
allows us to draw with alpha values and blend the console on top of the current
framebuffer. We do not have to care for background images and the application
has full control of where the console is shown.

Every cell of the console contains one single printable character. We want to be
Unicode compatible so we must support combined characters. Hence, each cell
consists of a UTF-8 string that can be drawn by pango as a single glyph.

The kmscon application is a terminal emulator which runs on a native linux DRI
device. It uses linux KMS and DRI to get a working OpenGL context without the
need of an X-Server, Wayland or similar.
It is an attempt to replace the in-kernel VT emulator with a full userspace
console.
