| |
Bug still resides in 2.4.16 still, even after the PPC fixes that were applied to 2.4.16-pre1.
If nobody cares about PPC updates, I guess I should put the box back on the shelf.
The video driver (plat) is the framebuffer for a few macs, without it, I cannot do anything.
Any plans to fix this?
// default_vmode = nvram_read_byte(NV_VMODE); // default_cmode = nvram_read_byte(NV_CMODE);
Commenting the two undefined functions out in drivers/video/platinumfb.c allows for a successful compile. It also allows for the video driver to be brought up succesfully.
Now will this bug be fixed in 2.4.17 for PPC or should I just put my PPC back on the shelf? :)
