Looking at the code for that routine:

static void do_install_cmap(int con, struct fb_info *fb)
{
    struct fb_info_aty *info = (struct fb_info_aty*)info;

that first statement doesn't make sense, change it to:

    struct fb_info_aty *info = (struct fb_info_aty*) fb;

and that should fix it.

BTW, I now have copies of my rsync trees at penguinppc.org, which will
hopefully have more bandwidth available than ppc.samba.org did.  The
tree at penguinppc.org::linux-pmac-devel has this bug fixed.

Paul.
