Otherwise it has these build errors (e.g., when CONFIG_FB=m): drivers/built-in.o: In function `vmw_fb_close': (.text+0x97713): undefined reference to `unregister_framebuffer' drivers/built-in.o: In function `vmw_fb_close': (.text+0x97754): undefined reference to `framebuffer_release' drivers/built-in.o: In function `vmw_fb_init': (.text+0x97e1c): undefined reference to `framebuffer_alloc' drivers/built-in.o: In function `vmw_fb_init': (.text+0x9838d): undefined reference to `register_framebuffer' drivers/built-in.o: In function `vmw_fb_init': (.text+0x9842a): undefined reference to `framebuffer_release' Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: David Airlie <airlied@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff -puN drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig~vmwgfx-depends-on-fb drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig --- a/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig~vmwgfx-depends-on-fb +++ a/drivers/gpu/drm/vmwgfx/Kconfig @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ config DRM_VMWGFX tristate "DRM driver for VMware Virtual GPU" - depends on DRM && PCI + depends on DRM && PCI && FB select FB_DEFERRED_IO select FB_CFB_FILLRECT select FB_CFB_COPYAREA _ Patches currently in -mm which might be from randy.dunlap@xxxxxxxxxx are linux-next.patch vmwgfx-depends-on-fb.patch dib3000mc-reduce-large-stack-usage.patch dib7000p-reduce-large-stack-usage.patch i2c-fix-xiic-build-error.patch mfgpt-move-clocksource-menu.patch elf-coredump-replace-elf_core_extra_-macros-by-functions-fix.patch xen-add-kconfig-menu.patch gpio-add-driver-for-max7300-i2c-gpio-extender.patch doc-console-doc-should-read-bind-unbind-instead-of-bind-bind.patch documentation-timers-split-txt-and-source-files.patch documentation-laptop-split-txt-and-source-files.patch documentation-fs-split-txt-and-source-files.patch documentation-vm-split-txt-and-source-files.patch cgroups-subsystem-module-unloading-fix.patch memcg-move-charges-of-anonymous-swap-fix.patch memcg-improve-performance-in-moving-swap-charge-fix.patch cgroup-implement-eventfd-based-generic-api-for-notifications-kconfig-fix.patch reiser4-export-remove_from_page_cache-fix.patch mutex-subsystem-synchro-test-module-add-missing-header-file.patch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe mm-commits" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
