a question for linux framebuffer driver

Hello,
Now I'm porting framebuffer driver for ml403 in linux 2.6.17.1, but I find after registering the driver using driver_register function in xilinxfb_int, the xilinxfb_drv_probe function has not been called, so framebuffer not registered yet, no devices founded(but I have connected the monitor). I want to know when will xilinxfb_drv_probe be called?
   

The kernel has to be informed of the device itself using =
platform_device_register.
I believe in the kernel you have you'll have to add code to do this, and =

/arch/ppc/platforms/4xx/virtex.c is a reasonable place.=20

In more recent kernels, look at arch/ppc/syslib/virtex_devices.c
