Hi all,

Some time ago, there were reports of crashes with controlfb and 2.4
kernels, while starting XF4.0.

I've taken a look, and it seems that indeed the mmap code recently added
to controlfb is to blame.

Below is the patch that fixes the hanging box while starting X for me.
It seems while implementing mmap() for 2.4 kernels in controlfb, I
forgot to copy 2 lines :-((

Ben and Paul, could you apply this patch to all your 2.4 / 2.5 trees? It
also fixes the 7_spaces_instead_of_tab problem in the mmap() code ;-)

Cheers, happy hacking, and sorry for this bug :-)

Michel
