it gives me 3 pages of warnings about: assingment makes integers from pointer without a cast large integer impplicitly truncated to unsigned type assingment discards const from pointer target type
many more
vga.h in include/video should have 2 extra lines: #include <asm/io.h> #include <asm/vga.h> otherwise te kernel could not compile
the file include/video/Config.in has no config line for i386
i hope this helps in making this this working
i'm self still a student and have to litte programming experience to hack the stuff to getter. but i'm trying
PS : if you need more info or have new patches to test mail me
