I've had a working linux 2.5 for some time. I also have some framebuffer
programs that would run under 2.5 but would not compile under it.
I had to compile them linux 2.4.
When I tried 2.5.74, the kernel would not compile.
I was using CONFIG_FB, CONFIG_FB_RIVA, CONFIG_VGA_CONSOLE, CONFIG_DUMMY_CONSOLE,
CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE, CONFIG_PCI_CONSOLE and drivers/video/riva/fbdev.c
failed to compile.
I found jsimons fbdev.diff.gz and applied it.
My framebuffer apps now compiled, but riva/fbdev.c still failed.
Though I tried, I was unable to repair it myself, with or without jsimons patch.
The following hack finally gave me a working 2.5.74 kernel:
(1) from fbdev.diff.gz I manually applied ONLY the patch for include/linux/fb.h
EXCEPT for the extern move_buf_aligned(...) and
extern move_buf_unaligned(...).
This latter was the part I could not determine after mucho testing.
(2) Optional: I did my own patch to riva/fbdev.c just to change the default
resolution to 1280x1024 instead of 640x480.
