It's broken for devices with BARs above 4G, and the sysfs method should work everywhere anyway. As a pleasant side effect, this fixes some warnings: fbdevhw.c: In function 'fbdev_open_pci': fbdevhw.c:333:4: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size fbdevhw.c:334:4: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size fbdevhw.c:336:4: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size fbdevhw.c:337:4: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size Reviewed-by: Matt Turner <mattst88@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Julien Cristau <jcristau@debian.org> Signed-off-by: Adam Jackson <ajax@redhat.com>
This is a submodule to access linux framebuffer devices. It is supported to work as helper module (like vgahw) for the chipset drivers. There are functions for saving/restoring/setting video modes, set palette entries, and a few more helper functions. Some of them can be hooked directly into ScrnInfoRec. In ../drivers/fbdev is a "chipset" driver. It is a simple, non-accelerated and hardware-independent driver which works on top of this fbdevhw submodule.
