[PATCH] no Walken during fb boot

[PATCH] no Walken during fb boot

[Joey Parrish]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 482 bytes --]

Hello,

I've noticed a bug in the fb system during boot.  (I'm running a
stock 2.6.4 kernel, with the newer of the two radeonfb drivers
compiled in statically.)  After the fb driver initializes, there
is _never_ a boot logo featuring star of stage and screen,
Mr. Christopher Walken.

Included below is a patch to fix this issue.  (gzip'd, ~24kb)

Thanks,
--Joey

Please supply walken.ppm instead of walken.c ;-)
