Re: mono, gray and index configs

Ah well that sounds more like was thinking of.  Is FB_ACTIVATE_TEST
new from 2.4 -> 2.6?

It's been there from the beginning (i.e. from 1994). In fact very little was
changed in the public (userspace) fbdev interface since then :-)

Hmmm.. I just went and looked at the SDL code and indeed thats what
its doing so I was mistaken.  Untill now I was just assuming that SDL
was doing that.

The stpcfb (from ST) code must be totally messing that IOCTL up then. 
I guess thats not so suprising since the stpcfb was broken in a couple
of other ways.  That device has been responsible for the bulk of my
pain.

I'll go compare it to a few of the other drivers and see what its
doing wrong now that I know its a bug and not a feature.

Thanks.
