Russell King pointed to it too. I fixed > the unsigned long problem in color_imageblit. All the pseudo_palette > in cfb_* are assumed u32. Is this safe for 16bpp or 8 bpp modes? I will The pseudopalette will only matter for truecolor and directcolor as the rest of the visuals bypasses the pseudopalette. Typecasting to "unsigned long" rather than "u32" is also safer (even for bpp16) since in 64-bit machines, the drawing functions use fb_writeq instead of fb_writel. So, all drivers using the cfb_* functions should change from "u32" to "unsigned long" _whatever_ the bit depth when loading the pseudopalette. Of course, drivers with their own drawing functions can use whatever they want. Tony PS: cfb_fillrect is still limited to u32 though which can hopefully be fixed in the future. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: The Best Geek Holiday Gifts!
