Subject: [PATCH] Set default of FB_GBE_MEM to 4 MB since >= 4 MB allocation breaks fb
Date: Fri, 17 Feb 2006 12:46:54 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060217124654.GA17201@deprecation.cyrius.com> (raw)
[PATCH] Set default of FB_GBE_MEM to 4 MB since >= 4 MB allocation breaks fb
Allocating more than 4 MB memory for the GBE (SGI O2) framebuffer
completely breakfs gbefb support at the moment. According to comments
on #mipslinux, more than 4 MB has never worked correctly in Linux.
Therefore, the default should be 4 MB.

This is the amount of memory reserved for the framebuffer,
which can be any value between 1MB and 8MB.
