Add (partial) support for 915G
 No HW cursor at the moment
 Screen is blanked but signal/sync is not switched off
Mostly derived from XFree86/Xorg driver
Pass "vesa_modes" and VESA_MODEDB_SIZE in call to "fb_find_mode()"
 to allow loading as module. Makes "vesa_modes" also the default
 "modedb" when linking statically into the kernel.
Change PREFERRED_MODE to more reasonable value "1024x768-32@70"

Can you resend?  Patch is malformed.

Sure!
But it would be much easier for me, if I know what's wrong with my patch.

I assume that the kernel source version I was using is wrong (outdated),
i. e. I have to make my patch base on (at least) version 2.6.11-rc2.

I would like to know, if the following statements are true:

@2.6.10 	=	kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.10.tar.bz2
@2.6.11-rc1 	= 	@2.6.10 + kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.11-rc1.bz2
@2.6.11-rc2 	= 	@2.6.10 + kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.11-rc2.bz2
@2.6.11-rc2-bk1 =	@2.6.11-rc2 + kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.11-rc2-bk1.bz2
@2.6.11-rc2-bk2 =	@2.6.11-rc2 + kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.11-rc2-bk2.bz2
...
@2.6.11-rc1-mm1 =	@2.6.11-rc1 + kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11-rc1/2.6.11-rc1-mm1/2.6.11-rc1-mm1.bz2
@2.6.11-rc1-mm2 =	@2.6.11-rc1 + kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11-rc1/2.6.11-rc1-mm2/2.6.11-rc1-mm2.bz2
@2.6.11-rc2-mm1 =	@2.6.11-rc2 + kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11-rc2/2.6.11-rc2-mm1/2.6.11-rc2-mm1.bz2
@2.6.11-rc2-mm2 =	@2.6.11-rc2 + kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.11-rc2/2.6.11-rc2-mm2/2.6.11-rc2-mm2.bz2

The "2.6.11-rc[V]-bk[W]" are maintained by Linus who integrates patches from Andrews's mm-tree,
i. e. "patch-2.6.11-rc[V]-bk[W]" is a subset (selected patches) from Andrew's current
"2.6.11-rc2-mm[I]" patchset.

Right?
(What about the "-ac" patches? Are they also running into "2.6.11-rc[V]-bk[W]")

Thanks for your patience
