Excerpt from the ChangeLog |
| 13 |
-------------------------- |
| 14 |
29 Jun 2006 * <spock@g.o> * vesafb-tng-1.0-rc2-git-20060629 |

- Always compile the CFB* helper modules directly into the kernel. |
| 17 |
This allows us to avoid the "undefined reference to 'cfb_fillrect'" bug |
| 18 |
when the standard vesafb driver is selected as a module. |
| 19 |
- Add support for fb_open and fb_release. With the new console binding |
| 20 |
mechanism, it is now possible to unbind fbcon and go back to the text |
| 21 |
mode. |
| 22 |
- Follow upstream (vesafb) changes wrt palette setting. |
| 23 |
- Fix a stupid bug in the memory mapping code (fixes some strange |
| 24 |
segfaults). |
