Hi Antonio,
this patch against 2.6.10-rc2 finally detects rivafb on NV30 based power
books by adding the pciid. Wolfram Quester tested it and reported it
working. It also cleans up the error code reported from the probe
function.

Thanks.

I also tested NV32 (GeForce FX 5200 0x0322) which also works.  So, I'm
planning to add a lot of NV30 entries to pci_ids.h and the rivafb pci_table
just so we can get a lot of reports (good and bad) from users.

Hmmm...shouldn't we delay this past 2.6.10? People with rivafb compiled
into the kernel but a - until now undetected - card,  might get bitten
otherwise.
