Looks sane - thanks. I see no harm in sending it to Linus. Could you run

Not in my tree - strange. Oh well, I'll deal with it when 2.5 stabilises
and I stop ignoring it.

Currently, it's only compiled in the iPAQ kernel tree, where it works - I'm
waiting for the iPAQ people and Russell to stop arguing about how it should
be done, so the result will work in the proper ARM tree (and hence Linus'
tree) too.


a while ago, and I was going to remove the forwarding some time soon.

I don't see this ever being solved.

Basically, the iPAQ people are quite happy to ignore concerns of the
non-iPAQ community to the point of ignoring any and all discussion
about it for months on end, so I'm happy to not merge the stuff until
they've addressed our concerns.

1. Patch?: linux-2.5.2-pre8/drivers/video kdev_t compilation fixes

        Most (all?) of the frame buffer drivers in
linux-2.5.2-pre8/drivers/video have a kdev_t compilation error,
because they try to set their fb_info->node field to -1 (it is
a kdev_t).  Shortly thereafter, regsiter_framebuffer sets it to
a more useful value.  So far, I have been unable to spot any
code that relies on fb_info->node being initialized to a
particular value prior to the call to register_framebuffer,
although I have not looked very hard.  What I did see was
some "???" comments beside some of the initializations to -1.
I suspsect that this is just useless initialization.

        Anyhow, deleting all of those initializations to -1
allows all of the framebuffer drivers to compile, which is
that this patch does.  I have also included a tiny patch to
a commented out line in include/linux/fb.h, updating it to
use minor() instead of MINOR(), in case it is every uncommented.

        I am still a long way from getting pre8 to run, so I
have not tested change.  Can anyone point out a place in
drivers/framebuffer that relies on fb_info->node being set to -1,
or minor(fb_info->node) being -1?

        By the way, don't worry if a few of the line offsets in this
patch are off.  That's because of some other changes I have in my
drivers/framebuffer (which I have previous posted, specifically
PCI ID tables, fb font modularization with demand loading, and the
fb core as a loadable module).
