Subject: [PATCH] MatroxFB support can't be compiled into kernel in 2.4.0-ac11
Date: Fri, 26 Jan 2001 14:29:59 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.30.0101261421550.29870-200000@bochum.redhat.de> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 227 bytes --]
Subject says it all - works as a module, but can't be compiled into the
kernel because of duplicate definitions, caused by several files including
matroxfb_base.h which in turn defines global_disp.
Patch attached.
