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.

It's line-wrapped, I think, your mailer probably mangled it.  You can resend
the patch as a text attachment.

I assume that the kernel source version I was using is wrong (outdated),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.

The source tree is not a problem, you can use any kernel >= 2.6.10.

Sorry for my late response, but I was quite busy with "subversioning the kernel",
i. e. I'm now able to (semi-)automatically update my subversion repository
using (downloaded) patches from kernel.org (mirrors).

I have attached the same patch I've send before, though I do not understand
why it was mangled. (I've tested this by sendind myself an email
containing the patch...)

For the patch was build on 2.6.10 with gentoo-patches already applied,
I have verified that my patch works on 2.6.11-rc3 from kernel.org, too.
It works! (The patching, i. e. I've not built a 2.6.11-rc3-kernel yet)

Hope that I'm able to remove the "partial" soon.

Cheers,
Axel
