http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9847 Summary: i810fb: module parameter 'mode_option' inconsistent with other framebuffer modules Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 KernelVersion: 2.6.22 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: Console/Framebuffers AssignedTo: jsimmons@infradead.org ReportedBy: miki@dds.nl Latest working kernel version: - Earliest failing kernel version: Distribution: Debian Release: lenny/sid Hardware Environment: Intel PIII / i815M Software Environment: Problem Description: While all other framebuffer modules use the option "mode=..." to specify a modedb-style video mode, i810fb uses the non-standard "mode_option=..." This breaks the use of "video=i810fb:<videomode>" boot parameter, such that for instance "video=i810fb:1024x768" doesn't work. The boot scripts parse the "<videomode>" parameter internally and pass it to the correct module as 'mode=<videomode>'. -Alain
