[PATCH] Patch for nvidia divide by zero error for 7600 pci-express card

2006-11-19T03:28:04+00:00

The following patch resolves the divide by zero error I encountered on my system: http://marc.10east.com/?l=linux-fbdev-devel&m=116058257024413&w=2 I accomplished this by merging what I thought was appropriate from: http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-nv/src/ Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

[PATCH] backlight last round of fixes

2006-09-01T18:39:10+00:00

Fix some more problems (inverted use of semaphores in some places). He also moved my checks into within the protected section which is better. Signed-off-by: Michael Hanselmann Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Cc: "Antonino A. Daplas" Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] fbdev: Fix crashes in various fbdev's blank routines

2006-08-31T04:21:55+00:00

The backlight changes that went in had a bug where they could cause the kernel to access an unitialized pointer when blanking if there is no backlight control on a machine. The bug affects atyfb, aty128fb, nvidiafb and rivafb. radeonfb seems to be ok. This fixes it. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] rivafb/nvidiafb: race between register_framebuffer and *_bl_init

2006-07-31T20:28:45+00:00

Since we now use the generic backlight infrastructure, I think we need to call rivafb_bl_init before calling register_framebuffer since otherwise rivafb_bl_init might race with the framebuffer layer already opening the device and setting up the video mode. In this case we might end up with a not yet fully intialized backlight (info->bl_dev still NULL) when calling riva_bl_set_power via rivafb_set_par/rivafb_load_video_mode and the kernel dies without any further notice during boot. This fixes booting current git on a PB 6,1. In this case radeonfb/atyfb would be affected too - I can fix that too but don't have any hardware to test this on. Cc: "Antonino A.

[PATCH] nvidiafb: remove redundant CONFIG_PCI check

2006-07-31T20:28:45+00:00

CONFIG_FB_NVIDIA already depends on CONFIG_PCI in drivers/video/Kconfig. Driver does an extra ``sanity check'' which is then redundant. Signed-off-by: Arthur Othieno Cc: Antonino Daplas Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[PATCH] powermac: Combined fixes for backlight code

2006-07-10T20:24:20+00:00

This patch fixes several problems: - pmac_backlight_key() is called under interrupt context, and therefore can't use mutexes or semaphores, so defer the backlight level for later, as it's not critical (original code by Aristeu S. Rozanski F. ). - Add exports for functions that might be called from modules - Fix Kconfig depdencies on PMAC_BACKLIGHT. - Fix locking issues on calls from inside the driver (reported by Aristeu S. Rozanski F., too) - Fix wrong calculation of backlight values in some of the drivers - Replace pmac_backlight_key_up/down by inline functions [akpm@osdl.org: fix function prototypes] Signed-off-by: Michael Hanselmann Acked-by: Aristeu S.

[PATCH] vt: Remove VT-specific declarations and definitions from tty.h

2006-07-10T20:24:16+00:00

MAX_NR_CONSOLES, fg_console, want_console and last_console are more of a function of the VT layer than the TTY one. Moving these to vt.h and vt_kern.h allows all of the framebuffer and VT console drivers to remove their dependency on tty.h.

[PATCH] Detaching fbcon: remove calls to pci_disable_device()

2006-06-26T16:58:32+00:00

Detaching fbcon allows individual drivers to be unloaded. However several drivers call pci_disable_device() upon exit. This function will disable the BAR's which will kill VGA text mode and/or affect X/DRM. To prevent this, remove calls to pci_disable_device() from several drivers.
