This is the latest patch against 2.6.0-rc3. Give it a try. http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/fbdev.diff.gz
[off-list ref] (03/09/17 1.1267.40.1) Add new API framebuffer_alloc and framebuffer_release. Framebuffer info structure (ie. struct fb_info) must be obtained from framebuffer_alloc. When it is no longer needed (after unregister_framebuffer and clean up) it can be released using framebuffer_release. If the framebuffer is not registered yet (eg. on error path) then fb_info must be released via kfree.
Are we sure that we want this for 2.6? Greg KH has a much less intrusive patch, maybe you should take that instead and keep my work 2.7. If you decide to go with framebuffer_alloc then I have more patches for you ;) Luca -- Reply-To: kronos@kronoz.cjb.net Home: http://kronoz.cjb.net I went to God just to see And I was looking at me Saw heaven and hell were lies When I'm God everyone dies
