From 3edea4833a1efcd43e1dff082bc8001fdfe74b34 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Antonino A. Daplas" Date: Mon, 15 Aug 2005 21:29:11 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] intelfb/fbdev: Save info->flags in a local variable Reported by: Pavel Kysilka (Bugzilla Bug 5059) The intelfb driver does not keep resolution set with fbset after switching to anot console and back. Steps to reproduce: initial options: tty1,tty2 - 1024x768-60 1) tty1 - fbset after booting (1024x768-60) 2) tty1 - fbset 800x600-100 tty1: 800x600-100 3) swith to tty2, swith to tty1 tty1: 1024x768-60 (the same resolution as default from kernel booting) This bug is caused by intelfb unintentionally destroying info->flags in set_par(). Therefore the flag, FBINFO_MISC_USEREVENT used to notify fbcon of a mode change was cleared causing the above problem. This bug though is not intelfb specific, as other drivers may also be affected. The fix is to save info->flags in a local variable before calling any of the driver hooks. A more definitive fix (for post 2.6.13) is to separate info->flags into one that is set by the driver and another that is set by core fbdev/fbcon.
