PATCH 1/1 New radeonfb

Hi Linus, Andrew !

Here is the new radeonfb. It doesn't remove the old one, just in case, though CONFIG_FB_RADEON now builds the new one.

I also had to add an empty fb_set_suspend() function to fbmem.c (the real implementation is in James tree and will be here soon). That means that Power Management on Apple laptops isn't completely right yet until the core fbdev fixes get in, but that's probably enough for 2.6.3.

The patch is too big to put in the email text uncompressed, so here it is as a bzip2 attachment.

James: The version in your tree is good too, when merging your stuff, you should ignore the few radeonfb diffs and let me deal with them.

Linus: This new driver uses framebuffer_alloc/release, so if you back out the fb sysfs patch, make sure to replace it with wrapper functions that just kmalloc/kfree

Regards,
Ben.

Re: [PATCH] New radeonfb (fixed)

Ok, here's a new patch with the missing file and with the debug output disabled by default. Sorry for the inconvenience. Replaces the previous patches.

Ben.

No need to back out the sysfs patch since I have new patches coming for the drivers. I just finished out how to deal with non pci devices.
