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 :-)
