Subject: Patch fixing savagefb driver typo/regression in linux-3.0.0
Date: Sun, 31 Jul 2011 10:04:47 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4E3528BF.2020601@verizon.net> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 992 bytes --]
I have an old T22 Thinkpad with integrated Savage/IX-MV video. As of
linux-3.0, the video is non-functional; the PC either hard hangs
immediately or has totally garbled video, and then hard hangs, as soon
as I attempt to edit a file or cat a file with more than a screen-full
of text. The foregoing details are actually not important any more as in
looking at the code changes I discovered a typo in
linux-3.0.0/drivers/video/savage/savagefb.h and have applied the
attached patch to fix the issue.
PLEASE NOTE:
I realize that the patch does not quite adhere to linux kernel patch
coding-style conventions (in particular, spaces around logical
operators, and lines not exceeding 80 chars), but I have simply changed an
'||' to an '&&' -- and NOT attempted to resolve pre-existing
coding-style violations.
thanks much,
John
P.S. Many, many thanks for lifting the 800x600 resolution limit! I've
been using a patch/hack to bump the limit to 1024x768 for an very long
time...

This patch corrects a typo/regression in the savage driver code occurring in going
from linux-2.6.39.3 to linux-3.0.0.
In linux-2.6.39.3, there were two savage4 variants (S3_SAVAGE4 and S3_PROSAVAGE).
Hence, S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES was defined as
S3_SAVAGE4 or S3_PROSAVAGE
In linux-3.0.0, two additional savage4 variants (S3_TWISTER and S3_PROSAVAGEDDR) have
been added. Hence S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES should be defined as
S3_SAVAGE4, S3_PROSAVAGE, S3_TWISTER, or S3_PROSAVAGEDDR
In going from linux-2.6.39.3 to linux-3.0.0, the define statement for S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES
was incompletely modified: the '||' should have been changed to an '&&'; for an '||' will
set S3_SAVAGE4_SERIES true for any card.
