Hi,

Hi,

First, sorry for the unproperly-formatted mail but I'm at work and this is the only way. Second, I installed the latest linux-next on a Dell Latitude D520 at work and the kernel won't boot unless I add nofb at the command line. Is this a known issue or do you need me to send all the good stuff (dmesg, cpuinfo and so on)? If there's anything I can do to help, please let me know. I have some time to test.

Not sure why you are sending this to me ?

Are you using a kernel with simplefb support enabled on x86? I only maintain the simplefb driver, and you're not supposed to use that on x86.

Eitherway please send a detailed bug report to:
"Linux Fbdev development list <[email protected]>" with me in the Cc.

Regards,

Hans
