[PATCH] fbcon: fix limited scroll in SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW mode

2006-06-08T22:12:21+00:00

From: Malcom Parsons 

When scrolling up in SCROLL_PAN_REDRAW mode with a large limited scroll
region, the bottom few lines have to be redrawn.  Without this patch, the
wrong text is drawn into these lines, corrupting the display.

Observed in 2.6.14 when running an IRC client in the Nintendo DS linux
port.

I haven't tested if scrolling down has the same problem.

[PATCH] fbcon: fix scrollback with logo issue immediately after boot

2006-05-31T23:27:10+00:00

From: David Hollister 

After the system boots with the logo, if the first action is a scrollback, the
screen may become garbled.  This patch ensures that the softback_curr value is
updated along with softback_in following the scrollback.

[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] Backlight/LCD Class: Fix sysfs _store error handling

2006-05-15T18:20:56+00:00

The backlight and LCD class _store functions currently accept values like "34
some random strings" without error.  This corrects them to return -EINVAL if
the value is not numeric with an optional byte of trailing whitespace.
