Applied. Thanks for finding that.
Hi James! now that you are back again, i would like to suggest
a modification to fbdev core, i am having problems guessing
which card is attached to a fb device.  I need this info to
solve the 'more than 1 card' situation.  This could be easily
fixed if the fbdev api provides the busid of the card, like
"pci:0000:01:0.0".  That would solve a lot of things in the
HAL detection routines.  Maybe that could be exported via
sysfs but i have been waiting for sysfs for a while and don't
see it coming to a reality.  Maybe an ioctl is enough.
The patches are getting pushed. With sysfs the info is there :-)
Great!
