    Subject[PATCH] drivers/video/vesafb.c, kernel 2.6.0-test1
    This is a trivial patch I made against the 2.6.0-test1 kernel to fix the
    "vesafb: abort, cannot ioremap video memory 0x8000000 @ 0xe8000000" error
    on systems with 1 GB RAM or more trying to use the framebuffer.

    The trivial fix was mentioned on this list in this message:
    http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0303.3/1236.html
