This patch fixes this bug, and a silly problem in pm2fb_blank(). There's
also some minor tidying.

I applied the patch and now the kernel oops is gone. How can I change the
resolution? If I don't specify the mode then i get 640x480-60 but if i use
video=pm2fb:mode:1024x768 (or any other resolution) I get 640x400-70. am I
passing the driver the argument with a wrong format?

The 2.6 version of pm2fb currently only has three possible arguments, 'mode',
'lowvsync' and 'lowhsync'. I think I'm the only person needing the last two.

When compiled in to the kernel, the argument syntax imitates other 2.6 drivers.
Arguments are comma separated, and any argument that isn't 'lowvsync' or
'lowhsync' is assumed to be a modedb specification,'<hres>x<vres>-<refresh>'.
You probably want:

video=pm2fb:1024x768-70
