Summary: i810fb: module parameter '
mode_option' inconsistent with
other framebuffer modules
Product: Drivers
Version: 2.5
KernelVersion: 2.6.22
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: Console/Framebuffers
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]Latest working kernel version: -
Earliest failing kernel version:
Distribution: Debian Release: lenny/sid
Hardware Environment: Intel PIII / i815M
Software Environment:
Problem Description: While all other framebuffer modules use the option "mode=..." to specify a modedb-style video mode, i810fb uses the non-standard "mode_option=..." This breaks the use of "video=i810fb:<videomode>" boot parameter, such that for instance "video=i810fb:1024x768" doesn't work. The boot scripts parse the "<videomode>" parameter internally and pass it to the correct module as 'mode=<videomode>'.
