fbcon.c with 1024 x 768 linux_logo.h

[laurent.hivet]

Hello all,

i'm a very newbie to kernel mailing list for reporting bug.

I use kernel 2.4.19, on SMP pentium III (2 cpu).

I get a panic kernel after booting and before inint script.

I used fblogo-0.4 to get a nice image at startup. I replaced
include/linux/linux_logo.h, and modified fbcon.c with LOGO_H 768 and
LOGO_W 1024.

With previous kernel (2.4.16 ??) not pb.

i decided to use [e-mail] patch:

--- 2.4.19/drivers/video/fbcon.c	Mon Jun 24 16:00:12 2002
+++ 2.4.19/drivers/video/fbcon.c	Mon Jun 24 15:26:18 2002

     	    	r -= old_cols;
     	    }
     	    if (!save) {
 	    	conp->vc_y += logo_lines;
     		conp->vc_pos += logo_lines * conp->vc_size_row;
     	    }
     	}
     	scr_memsetw((unsigned short *)conp->vc_origin,
 		    conp->vc_video_erase_char,
-		    conp->vc_size_row * logo_lines);
+		    old_cols * logo_lines);
+
     }

     /*
      *  ++guenther: console.c:vc_allocate() relies on initializing
      *  vc_{cols,rows}, but we must not set those if we are only
      *  resizing the console.
      */
     if (init) {
 	conp->vc_cols = nr_cols;
 	conp->vc_rows = nr_rows;

and now all work fine !!

Can someone (maintener but who ?) can verify if this patch is ok and apply
it to fbcon.c in official stable (2.4.x) kernel tree ?

Best Regards.
