But this whole discussion start with that you wished it would return the error, and then error code I assumed? Ok, but something like this then? err = uvesafb_exec(task); if (err) { par->pmi_setpal = par->ypan = 0; return err; } Kind regards Rickard Strandqvist -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fbdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
