I had a look through the linuxppc-dev mailing list, and found a few
patches to controlfb. I collected a few and made them fit in (from
messages in September).
I see those are patches to XFree. I have no problem with controlfb,
running XFree 4.0.1 from fsirl's R5 RPMs on devel.linuxppc.org, with
the
exception of the screen being displaced to the right (IIRC).
I knew I was setting myself up for grief by getting the original
sources ;-)
Actually, I did roll this patch into my modifications. Could it be that
the development tree on penguinppc.org doesn't have these patches at
the moment?
Cheers
Jens

That could be; I never got any positive feedback of any patch that fixes
this problem getting close enough to official XFree to be swallowed ;-)
The patch I'm using isn't clean enough for that... and it might even not
work for all resolutions/depths; never tried...
Cheers

AFAICS everything except the very last chunk (is it important?) of your patch
has been integrated in one form or another into XFree86 CVS as a patch of mine
(the one I asked you to test, Michel) was accepted. Have you looked at the
XFree86 CVS lately?

No; I'm running XF precompiled from Franz's site, and the test modules
you asked about some time ago were binary incompatible to that XF
version. A long time ago I had an XF4 source tree in a 'compilable'
state; but that was 4.0. I then tried to patch it to 4.0.1, and failed
miserably ;-) It has remained in the same state since then...
Anyway, these patches getting integrated is good news. But I think right
now I'll patiently wait for RPMs rather than compile myself :-)
Cheers
Michel
