No, no luck, ...

it dies with :

unable to handle NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 0000000c

eip is c01e60a1 (__fb_try_mode is c01e6020, next is fb_set_var at c01e60d0).

call trace seems to be :

pm3fb_mode_setup

pm3fb_real_setup

init

kernel_thread (not sure about this one, i missed one digit and had to guess
it.)

I start the kernel with grub and :

title linux (2.4.7-ruby pm3fb)
root (hd0,0)
kernel (hd0,0)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.7-ruby root=/dev/hda1
video=pm3fb:mode:0:800x600-75,mode:1:640x400-60,off

Hope this is helpfull and i did not mess up some stuff.

Note, i got ruby from cvs yesterday, and simply copied the linux directory
over to a fresh 2.4.7 tree.?
