Subject: [PATCH] Change fb.h to compile with GCC-4.0
Date: Tue, 15 Feb 2005 13:24:03 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1108494519.16101.11.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Hi.

The current GCC cvs code does not like the include/linux/fb.h file:

In file included from drivers/video/aty/atyfb_base.c:63:
include/linux/fb.h:865: error: array type has incomplete element type

This error is due to recent changes in GCC. A thread discussing this
change can be found by following the link below:

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2005-02/msg00053.html

The patch moves the array declaration after the definition of the 
fb_modelist structure, and with this small change GCC is happy once
again. Maybe this can sneak in for 2.6.11?
