It has changed again. Anyone know the current method for backtracing. I have recompiled the kernel with debugging symbols included, and gdb thinks the oops occurs at line 264 in cfbimgblt.c. I don't know how accurate this is, though, since this line is in function fast_imageblit() while the backtrace rather pointed at cfb_imageblit().
