Well, the reason for malloc() failing is simle: looks like I've been too
lazy to enter all display sizes :-)

Take a look into drv_MatrixOrbital and look for your model name
(GKL1223-25). There you will find:

    {0x0f, "VK204-25", 4, 20, 0, 1, 1},
    {0x10, "GLC12232", -1, -1, 0, 1, 1},
    {0x13, "GLC24064", -1, -1, 0, 1, 1},
    {0x15, "GLK24064-25", -1, -1, 0, 1, 1},
    {0x22, "GLK12232-25", -1, -1, 0, 1, 1},
    {0x31, "LK404-AT", 4, 40, 8, 8, 2},

As you can see, all the GLC- and GLK-models have an unknown size. Enter
the correct size here, and you should be done.

And, *please*, return your corrections as a patch so others can benefit,
too.



TIA, Michael
