2006-08-30[PATCH] fbdev: Fix crashes in various fbdev's blank routinesBenjamin Herrenschmidt
The backlight changes that went in had a bug where they could cause the kernel to access an unitialized pointer when blanking if there is no backlight control on a machine. The bug affects atyfb, aty128fb, nvidiafb and rivafb. radeonfb seems to be ok. This fixes it.

2006-07-31[PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_initGuido Guenther
Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the device and setting up the video mode. In this case we might end up with a not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel dies without any further notice during boot. This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1. In this case radeonfb/atyfb would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to test this on. Cc: "Antonino A.

2006-07-10[PATCH] powermac: Combined fixes for backlight codeMichael Hanselmann
This patch fixes several problems: - pmac_backlight_key() is called under interrupt context, and therefore can't use mutexes or semaphores, so defer the backlight level for later, as it's not critical (original code by Aristeu S. Rozanski F. <aris@valeta.org>). - Add exports for functions that might be called from modules - Fix Kconfig depdencies on PMAC_BACKLIGHT. - Fix locking issues on calls from inside the driver (reported by Aristeu S.

2006-03-28[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbersBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism. With this, board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine. We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of _machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants. This commit also changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at _machine.

2005-11-07[PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbconAntonino A. Daplas
According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant. The soft_cursor function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around fb_imageblit. And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is moved to the console directory. Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor field blank. For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own version. The end result is a smaller code size. And if the framebuffer console is not loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will also not be loaded.

2005-11-07[PATCH] nvidiafb: Add flat panel dither supportBenjamin Herrenschmidt
nvidiafb didn't fully hook-up the code it borrowed from X for doing flat panel dithering (this is useful for 6 bits panels). This adds a driver option to force it, and by default "reads" the current value from the chip to get the firmware setting. It significantly improves the quality of images on the iMac G5 I have here (though the X driver doesn't yet "read" the current value and defaults to 0, so you have to add Option "FBDither" "true" to your X config file to get that, I'll try to fix X.org to "read" the default unless specified asap).

In theory, there should be no more users of I2C_ALGO_* at this point. However, it happens that several drivers were using I2C_ALGO_* for adapter ids, so we need to correct these before we can get rid of all the I2C_ALGO_* definitions. Note that this also fixes a bug in media/video/tvaudio.c: /* don't attach on saa7146 based cards, because dedicated drivers are used */ if ((adap->id & I2C_ALGO_SAA7146)) return 0; This test was plain broken, as it would succeed for many more adapters than just the saa7146: any those id would share at least one bit with the saa7146 id. We are really lucky that the few other adapters we want this driver to work with did not fulfill that condition.

Reported by:Vincent Fortier (Bugzilla Bug 4768) "At boot time the screen appears moved to the mid right portion of the actual video pannel making the end of the line appears at the left edge... It simply looks like moved half way to the right" His particular hardware has a display with an unusual dimension (1920x1200) but unfortunately has no EDID block. None of the entries in the global mode database is correct for this particular display, and it particularly has difficulty scaling up 640x480 (the default startup mode of nvidiafb) to 1920x1200 which causes the above described problem. 1, Add 1920x1200 to the global mode database. 2. Let nvidiafb base the startup mode from the flatpanel dimensions only if the EDID block is absent, no boot mode parameter is specified by the user, and a flatpanel/LCD display is attached.
