Re: Adding monochrome support for 823e

In message [ref] you wrote:

I've completed the kernel work for using the 832e in monochrome mode. It
requires changes to drivers/video/fbcmap.c. You need to add a palette for
it's monochrome mode that looks like:

Ummm...

Then you have to do some work in arch/ppc/8xx_io/lcd832.c where indicated.
Without the work above, you may get garbage. I don't think you'd ever get
right output.

We have support for monochrome LCD in our kernel source tree (see the
CONFIG_EDT32F10 configuration, as used by teh R360MPI board). We  did
not need any changes to drivers/video/fbcmap.c.

I just wanted to get this out there so it goes in the archives.

I guess to get anything into the  "archives"  you  should  prepare  a
proper patch (including against which kernel version you built it).
