controlfb problem (on XFree86-4.0.1 off the penguinppc.org deve lopment tree)

[Michel Lanners]

Hi all,

On  20 Nov, this message from Jens Tingleff echoed through cyberspace:

I see those are patches to XFree. I have no problem with controlfb,
running XFree 4.0.1 from fsirl's R5 RPMs on devel.linuxppc.org, with the
exception of the screen being displaced to the right (IIRC).

That problem I fixed for me with a patch you can find here:

I only tried 1152 x 870 @ 32 bpp; that works perfectly fine for me...

Cheers

Michel
