[PATCH] matroxfb: fix DVI setup to be more compatible

2006-05-21T19:59:16+00:00

There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps
other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes
running Linux.  Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in
a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on
the physical monitor.  This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have
easy access to...

I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on
an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a
colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32
box (w/GXT135P).  I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to
verify that it didn't obviously break anything.  In my testing, I covered
single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals,
on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes.  While everything appeared fine on both
boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D
output on the ppc64 box.  However, this is also the case without my patch.

I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as
well.

[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers

2006-03-28T12:15:54+00:00

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.

[PATCH] drivers/video: Use ARRAY_SIZE macro

2006-03-27T16:44:58+00:00

Use ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]) and remove
duplicates of ARRAY_SIZE.  Some coding style and trailing whitespaces are
also fixed.

Compile-tested where possible (some are other arch or BROKEN)

[PATCH] matrox maven: memory allocation and other cleanups

2006-03-27T16:44:55+00:00

A few cleanups which were done to almost all i2c drivers some times
ago, but matroxfb_maven was forgotten:

* Don't allocate two different structures at once.
* Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc+memset.
* Use strlcpy instead of strcpy.
* Drop duplicate error message on client deregistration failure.

[PATCH] matroxfb: simply return what i2c_add_driver() does

2006-03-27T16:44:55+00:00

insmod will tell us when the module failed to load.  We do no further
processing on the return from i2c_add_driver(), so just return what
i2c_add_driver() did, instead of storing it.

Add __init/__exit annotations while we're at it.

kbuild: remove checkconfig.pl

checkconfig.pl is no longer needed now that autoconf.h is automatically
included.  Remove it and all references to it.

[PATCH] fbdev: Sanitize ->fb_ioctl prototype

2006-01-15T02:27:14+00:00

The ioctl and file arguments to ->fb_mmap are totally unused and there's not
reason a driver should need them.

Also update the ->fb_compat_ioctl prototype to be the same as ->fb_mmap.
