I've noticed that CONFIG_FB_ATY is defined at more than a few places, and
have been working on consolidating this a bit to make the entire script
at least a little more sane. I'm wondering several things, for anybody
who might know:
Is CONFIG_FB_ATY supposed to be dependant on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL ? At
some places it is, and at some it isn't. (same with CONFIG_FB_MATROX and
CONFIG_FB_IGA) Also, is CONFIG_FB_IGA sparc only, as it appears to be
currently defined, or will it work on other hardware as well. Its PCI, so
unless there is some very specific reason it should only be in the sparc
tree, I think in my cleanup I'm going to make it more generic...

On some platforms yes.
Also, is CONFIG_FB_IGA sparc only, as it appears to be currently
defined, or will it work on other hardware as well. Its PCI, so

sparc tree, I think in my cleanup I'm going to make it more

It's PCI, but it is written with some sparc specific things in mind
and we do not want people on other platforms to play with it lightly
so we do not offer it as a config option on other platforms.
Please don't start playing around here without consulting the
maintainer of the fbcon layer (Geert Uytterhoeven
Geert.Uytterhoeven@cs.kuleuven.ac.be).
Odds are that things are the way they are right now for a very good
reason.

OK, thanks for that info. I should probably pay a bit more careful of
attention to this sort of thing ;)

Stay sane inside insanity.
