Actually the name seems to be set to: "Intel(R) 830M/845G/852GM/855GM/865G/915G Framebuffer Driver" which is a bit verbous if you want to create a directory name :)I don't think that part of the driver has changed in some time. Is there something new in your trees which would trigger this?
No, not that I know of.

Seems like a fix such as this will be needed:--- 25/drivers/video/intelfb/intelfbdrv.c~intelfbdrv-naming-fix 2005-05-12 08:54:46.000000000 -0700 +++ 25-akpm/drivers/video/intelfb/intelfbdrv.c 2005-05-12 08:55:03.000000000 -0700@@ -214,7 +214,7 @@ static struct fb_ops intel_fb_ops = { /* PCI driver module table */ static struct pci_driver intelfb_driver = { - .name = "Intel(R) " SUPPORTED_CHIPSETS " Framebuffer Driver", + .name = "intelfb",
Did the SUPPORTED_CHIPSETS macro change somehow? Anyway, the patch looks correct to me. thanks, greg k-h
