[PATCH] matroxfb: fix jittery display on non-ppc systems

2006-08-27T18:01:29+00:00

I wish I was happier about this patch.  It'll serve as a placeholder for
the moment.  I'm still trying to get a G550 working in order to even
reproduce the problem this patch introduces.  I find that the G450 has
jitter even without this patch, so it won't show me what the patch changed.
 At this point, I'll continue trying to get the G550 to work, and in
parallel work with the G450 to work out the kinks.

The patch is below.

Set XDVICLKCTRL only on PPC, as doing this apparently introduces jitter on
the G550, at least on x86 architectures.

[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] matroxfb: fix DVI setup to be more compatible

2006-05-21T19:59:16+00:00

There has been a longstanding problem with the Matrox G450 and perhaps
other similar cards, with modes "above" 1280x1024-60 on ppc/ppc64 boxes
running Linux.  Higher resolutions and/or higher refresh rates resulted in
a very noticably "jittery" display, and sometimes no display, depending on
the physical monitor.  This patch fixes that problem on the systems I have
easy access to...

I've tested with SLES9SP3 (2.6.5+ kernel) and 2.6.16-rc6 custom kernels on
an IBM eServer p5 520 w/G450 (a.k.a GXT135P on IBM's ppc64 systems), and a
colleague of mine (Ian Romanick) tested it successfully on an Apple ppc32
box (w/GXT135P).  I also tested it on IA32 box I have with a GXT135P to
verify that it didn't obviously break anything.  In my testing, I covered
single-card, single and dual-head setups using both HD15 and DVI-D signals,
on both the IA32 and ppc64 boxes.  While everything appeared fine on both
boxes, I did encounter one problem: I can't get any signal on the DVI-D
output on the ppc64 box.  However, this is also the case without my patch.

I just noticed that screen-blanking only occurs on the primary display as
well.

[PATCH] powerpc: Kill _machine and hard-coded platform numbers

2006-03-28T12:15:54+00:00

This removes statically assigned platform numbers and reworks the
powerpc platform probe code to use a better mechanism.  With this,
board support files can simply declare a new machine type with a
macro, and implement a probe() function that uses the flattened
device-tree to detect if they apply for a given machine.

We now have a machine_is() macro that replaces the comparisons of
_machine with the various PLATFORM_* constants.  This commit also
changes various drivers to use the new macro instead of looking at
_machine.

[PATCH] drivers/video: Use ARRAY_SIZE macro

2006-03-27T16:44:58+00:00

Use ARRAY_SIZE macro instead of sizeof(x)/sizeof(x[0]) and remove
duplicates of ARRAY_SIZE.  Some coding style and trailing whitespaces are
also fixed.

Compile-tested where possible (some are other arch or BROKEN)

[PATCH] matrox maven: memory allocation and other cleanups

2006-03-27T16:44:55+00:00

A few cleanups which were done to almost all i2c drivers some times
ago, but matroxfb_maven was forgotten:

* Don't allocate two different structures at once.
* Use kzalloc instead of kmalloc+memset.
* Use strlcpy instead of strcpy.
* Drop duplicate error message on client deregistration failure.
