Hi All,
More new patches...
This one should not affect NetWinder users too much - it's more Acorn-based
fixes and such like.
Things changed:
- Acorn VIDC resolution selection.
Please get the 'fbset' utility (see linux/Documentation). It's
not tested to death, but seems to work ok for me. I don't
guarantee that it'll work out that a resolution is not valid,
but at least you can now dynamically change it (and have virtual
consoles at different resolutions!)
NOTE: currently for VIDC1 machines, the unused screen memory is *not*
freed with this kernel. There will be a kernel option where you
can specify the amount of memory you want to allocate to the
screen in a later kernel.
NOTE: read drivers/video/acornfb.c for kernel options, incl. monitor
types.
- Miscellaneous A5000/Old Arc fixes.
The kernel is again able to handle more than 4 bash shells
before killing processes. PhilB pointed out the reason. The
fix isn't complete yet, but is sufficient to get things stable
again.
- Duplicate code removal in fault-arm*.c.
- NWFPE added.
- vfork fixed.
- EBSA285/NetWinder flash correctly protected, dispite what Phil may
tell you. ;)
- small_page allocation routines more flexable to allow 8k and 1k allocations
depending on it's configuration.
- arch/arm/drivers has gone! arch/arm/special contains arch/arm/drivers/char1.
This means that the old drivers in arch/arm/drivers/char are no
longer in the tree.
Enjoy, and don't forget to let me know about breakages!
