| |
Hi
I've recently been having a problem with the vesafb refusing to boot on my system, after investigation the problem further I found that it had been mentioned on the 27 March 2003, in this thread
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=104878364823195&w=2
In the thread Walt H, waltabbyh <at> comcast <dot> net, provides a fix. After just downloading 2.4.21-rc1 I noticed that this fix was not present. So heres a patch against 2.4.21-rc1 to fix this probelm.
Please CC me with any responses as I'm not on the list.
Cheers
Adam
