New fbdev updates.

New fbdev updates.

[James Simmons]

Hi!
   
   I have updates to the framebuffer layer. Alot of bug fixes accumlated. 
A couple of driver updates as well. I have more code to go in but haven't 
had time to add them in. Please test. This is not the final code going in 
just yet. More needs to be done. The patches are at the usual

    http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/fbdev.diff.gz

or BK
    bk://fbdev.bkbits.net/fbdev-2.5

Note: 
   The NVIDIA driver hasn't been updated to the new cursor fixes. I 
haven't had time to fix it yet. So it doesn't compile. Also the i810 
driver might have issues with the cursor changes. 
   Skeleton i2c support is added. It hasn't been tested or even compiles 
in yet.

I was wondering whether you are working on the radeonfb issue in 2.5
since forever that there is a lot of multicolored garbage on the screen
initially when the kernel starts, and the first clear text seen are ACPI
notices. Is it an issue of transferring what was written to the display
in raw mode to the FB? The 2.4 radeonfb driver does not have this
issue.

This is one of the last things on my 2.5 wishlist for me, I'll die a
happy man if you can fix it :)

Seems my old corrupt cursor is fixed, but with your new code I am
getting ghost cursors left behind while moving around in vim over ssh
with syntax on.

I am noticing too, but this is local. In fact I am seeing a bunch of
ghost cursors as I edit this message :)

Same here. I can see the ghost cursor also when typing fast on the shell
(via ssh) and the hit backspace, arrows, home, end. I don't see it using
normal tty (the kernel is the same, I just did ssh ::1).

Btw, the cursor doesn't disappear  anymore switching back and forth from
X.

Any chance of getting the radeonfb DFP-on-DVI working? I'm more than
willing to work on it, if no one else has the hardware. I can at least
try to get it working on the Radeon 9000.

Nope. I don't have this hardware. Once I get my hands on that kind of 
hardware I will give it a shot.

Fixed one problem but I have a few more to go :-( The soft cursor isn't 
deleteing itself after it moves.

I don't have the hardware but I'm willing to accept patches for testing 
for the masses.

I'll look into it over the weekend, after seeing how XFree86 and others 
have approached the problem.
