I therefore had to patch fbmem.c, to be able to retrieve a pointer to struct fb_info from the 'file' argument to these functions. The second hunk of the patch is not strictly required, I only did that for symmetry reasons (and the code is somewhat shorter). Signed-off-by: Thomas Koeller Acked-by: "Antonino A.
