Don't overflow the 16-character fb_fix_screeninfo id string (fixes
some console erasing and blanking artifacts). Have the ID default to
"Unknown" on machines with no built-in video and no nubus devices.
Check for fb_alloc_cmap failure.
The patch applies OK to 2.6.27, 2.6.26 and 2.6.25 (at least).
Should we backport it and if so, how far?
Please do. The problem was introduced somewhere in the 2.5 series.
Thanks,
Finn
