By the way I have here a question: If we have several submodules as parts of a framebuffer we have some symbols within the namespace of this framebuffer. When we compile it as a separate module for modprobe there is no problem. But when we compile it as part of the kernel these frambuffer specific symbols are polluting the kernel namespace. Is there an elegant way to make the framebuffer specific symbols invisible for the kernel after we have our xxxfb.o? Thomas ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
