I have compiled a 2.5.24 kernel and added the few things needed to make the pm3fb work (basically, i had to patch Config.in and Config.help so i could enable it in the configuration process).
Could you send me the patch please ?
Is there a reason why it was not enabled previously, or is it just forgetting the these two files (which probably did not patch correctly due to the Config.in and Config.help location and format change).
I though the old-format drivers wouldn't work so I never bothered submitting for inclusion.
Anyway, it works fine (well as good as with the 2.4.x kernel), there still is problem with the copying of the text console data at bootup, but apart from that everything is fine. Should i send over a patch for adding it to the Config.xxx files ?
Please send me the patch, I'll submit them for inclusion Thanks for the help, -- DOLBEAU Romain | I witness a time and a place that never dies, ENS Cachan / Ker Lann | still frozen in time, this darkness the only Thesard IRISA / CAPS | place that I can hide.
