Including fb.h from userspace

Including fb.h from userspace

[Robert Schwebel]

I'm trying to compile the XFree86-4.3.99.10 framebuffer driver with
Linux-2.6.1. It breaks because the driver includes the kernel's fb.h
which includes other stuff which seems not to be userland clean. 

What's the "right" way or variant to include fb.h from userland? 

Robert

I have a fix for that. I will be submitting it soon up stream.

Yea, several people has posted patches to fix the problem but
they are not getting merged.  Basically you must 'move' fb_pixmap
to the __KERNEL area and move some includes from top (i remember
to leave just <asm/types.h> in top, everything else to __KERNEL
area) in file include/linux/fb.h

-solca

Yeap. That is all that is needed.
