[Linux-fbdev-devel] Error in radeonfb.c

[<wur...@ne...>]

Hi!

I'm looking for the maintainer of frame buffer code in the 2.4 kernel.

Since I'm an (in the meantime *VERY* disappointed) owner of a Dell Latitude
C610 I have to fight with that beast. It has a radeon M6 LY chip inside,
and that stupid thing doesn't work at all.

In order to get that #*&%$! machine working with X11 I tried to compile a
new kernel. I found two typos in the frame buffer code (Linux 2.4.17):

In radeonfb.c, line 1178:
                case 786:

I think 768 sounds better ...

In radeonfb.c, line 1410:
#ifdef FBCON_HAS_CFB32

this should be
#ifdef FBCON_HAS_CFB24

otherwise it does not compile.

The reason why I'm disappointed with that Dell box is that even with those
changes the only result I get is a hangup, a real complete one. It happens 
at the moment when frame buffer code get's executed.

If somebody has any ideas about that, he or she is *VERY* welcome.

There´s a diff file with those vahnges attached.

best wishes
