hi,
this is my first try at a kernel patch, i hope i am doing everything right; if not, please just tell me. (i sent this patch to both the drm maintainer and the linux-kernel ML. should i send 2.4 patches directly to marcelo? mm..)
anyway, this is just a backport of the 2.5 DRM driver for Intel 830M to the 2.4 series. It is against 2.4.19 but, consisting only of added files it should work clean on later kernels (tested on 2.4.20pre). The patch is quite big (67252 bytes) and can be downloaded from:
http://people.initd.org/fog/linux-2.4.19-i830.diff
* Added files: linux-2.4.19/drivers/char/drm/i830_dma.c linux-2.4.19/drivers/char/drm/i830_drm.h linux-2.4.19/drivers/char/drm/i830_drv.c linux-2.4.19/drivers/char/drm/i830_drv.h linux-2.4.19/drivers/char/drm/i830.h
* Modified files: linux-2.4.19/Documentation/Configure.help linux-2.4.19/drivers/char/drm/Config.in linux-2.4.19/drivers/char/drm/Makefile
The only noteworthy change is the removal of some 2.5 specific code from i830_free_page (file i830_dma.c) and the replacement of unlock_page by UnlockPage.
I am not subscribed to the kernel ML, so please keep me in cc:.
ciao, federico
