Hi Helge,

I notice some improvement of your stifb in 2.5 (module support). Do you think
feasible the backport to 2.4?

Thanks for advice,
    Joel

Hi Joel,

OTOMH I think it doesn't make sense to backport them.
Anyway, I'll take a look at it soon again.

Because 2.6 will be release soon?

Thanks but don't spend too much time on this (I would simply know if, according
your opinion, it exists some major issue which avoid to do it).

Thanks again,

No.
The console code in 2.5.x has a lot of changes which
make modularization possible. This is mostly not available in 2.4.x,
thus backporting makes not that much sense.

Hi Helge,

I comeback to you with stifb in kernel 2.5.74-pa0 this time.

I think I have the bad idea to compile it as builtin; unfortuantely I got
following compiling error:

  LD      vmlinux
drivers/built-in.o(.init.text+0xa778): In function `stifb_init':
: undefined reference to `sti_get_rom'
drivers/built-in.o(.exit.text+0x5d8): In function `stifb_cleanup':
: undefined reference to `sti_get_rom'
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

Any idea?

Thanks in advance,
    Joel
