Some code appears to think its an unsigned long, others think its u32. This doesn't make much difference when sizeof(unsigned long) == sizeof(u32) but this isn't always the case (eg, 64-bit architectures). I'll get back to bashing the sa1100fb driver to work out why fbcon is producing a _completely_ blank display, despite characters being written to it. -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: Geek Gift Procrastinating?
