He's not wasting time.

I have stopped synching up to vger a _long_ time ago.  Anybody who still
thinks vger has _any_ relevance to the standard kernel is very much
misguided.

We're painfully aware of this.  We do sync up with you though, so the vger

Linus: Please please please please please sync the official tree
up with vger, I and many others can't use CVS, and it seems
that it is increasingly the only way to get a functional kernel
with framebuffer support.

Screw it, maybe I'll just hack a shell acct somewhere and CVS
from somewhere else.

Don't take this the wrong way, but can we expect framebuffer support to
work from now on?

If the primary/only difference between vger and the official tree is
framebuffer support, and what's in the official tree is older or broken,
it almost makes more sense to remove it than keep old or broken code.

I am by NO MEANS knowledgable in this arena, but just don't like broken
kernels.

Note that saying "it's in vger, so you're wasting your time" is still
completely and utterly stupid. The fact that it is in vger has absolutely
no bearing, especially as there's a _lot_ of stuff in vger that will
probably never make it into 2.2.

He is.

Besides, his patches were incorrect.

In that case, please disable CONFIG_FB completely on the Intel platform, so I
won't see any complaints about it anymore. And be sure 2.2 will support less
platforms than 2.0. Other platforms rely on an up-to-date drivers/video.

_I_ am used to getting other patches to make things work on my machines, but
unfortunately other's aren't...

This particular patch, however, looked to be a partial undo of
something that was the result of an fbcon patch in 2.1.123 being
broken. I'd rather have the rest of the patch that should have been
applied in 2.1.123, given my druthers.
