Your patch works correctly here. I would also suggest to redirect the
output of afbinit to /dev/null in order to have a cleaner boot message.

As it is now, afbinit.init prints the firmware revision number every
time:

fb0: Loading Elite3D microcode... Revision-1.3.10 done.

ciao,

Please go for it, no answer from Ben in more than one month.

I'll be glad to help you with this package, I have an Elite3D card on my
system so I can at least do some testing.

Bug#411415: afbinit init script does nothing

[Jurij Smakov]

Package: afbinit
Version: 1.0-1.1
Severity: important

Hi,

I have a machine with an Elite3D card. Recently I tried using xorg on 
it, and found that afbinit init script does not load the microcode on 
boot. It relies on encountering 'Elite' string in dmesg output as an 
indication that the microcode must be loaded. Latest kernels do not 
contain this string, so it exits silently. The simple attached patch 
works on my box. 

Ben, I would like to ask for your permission to become a comaintainer 
of afbinit in Debian. Then I could upload this fix, and sync with 
Ubuntu.

Best regards,
