> Interesting. So you don't have the simplefb output that you had before ? I do now, after a 'make clean' and "make bzImage'. In between, I had tried CONFIG_SYSFB_SIMPLEFB=n . That "works", by falling back to vesafb in every case. I restored the .config before testing the patch, but there must have been leftover dregs in the build tree. 1024x768x32 is garbled, others are good whether simplefb or vesafb. --PA
