Hello all. I've recently been playing with modules on my PPC system, and noticed that matroxfb doesn't work as a module, because of mac_vmode_to_par. But, after looking at other drivers which did work (aty and aty128) I noticed matroxfb was doing something it didn't need to be doing. First, the code should never get compiled, if this is a module, and even then the code only needs to be compiled on ALL_PPC (which is Pmac/PReP/CHRP). Second, it's only valid to call the default_{vmode,cmode} code on a PMAC (tested on a pmac, and ran it by one of the IBM guys who agrees it shouldn't break anything, but he's still working on making the machine boot to start with. :)) Third, the nvram_read_byte needs to be protected by CONFIG_NVRAM. Finally, the VMODE_CHOOSE stuff is 0'ed out in atyfb with a comment about this not actually working, so I removed it. Comments? -- Tom Rini (TR1265) http://gate.crashing.org/~trini/
