SubjectVRAM protection in setup.c
Date
From

Hi all,

I wanted to use VGA16 framebuffer on 2.3.x but couldn't. I've read
some codes, and found the reason in arch/i386/kernel/setup.c:

static struct resource vram_resource =
{ "Video RAM area", 0xa0000, 0xbffff, IORESOURCE_BUSY };
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(This protects any other requests, even in drivers/video/vfa16fb.c.)

Then, I changed it as:

static struct resource vram_resource =
{ "Video RAM area", 0xa0000, 0xbffff, IORESOURCE_MEM | IORESOURCE_AUTO };

and I met Tux penguin again. But, my box did hang up when loading
pcmcia modules. Perhaps, my change might occur this problem. So,
tell me more smart fix.

Thanks,

A.Yoshiyama <yosshy@debian.or.jp>
