The patch titled
i386: set 6-bit DAC channel properties in vesa video setup
has been removed from the -mm tree. Its filename was
i386-set-6-bit-dac-channel-properties-in-vesa-video.patch
This patch was dropped because it was merged into mainline or a subsystem tree
------------------------------------------------------
Subject: i386: set 6-bit DAC channel properties in vesa video setup
From: "Antonino A. Daplas" <adaplas@xxxxxxxxx>
If the video BIOS is not capable of switching or failed to switch the hardware
to 8-bit DAC, the channel properties are not set. This leads to a blank (all
black) display with vesafb at 8 bpp. Fix by defaulting to a 6-bit DAC.
