i810fb as a module is broken (checked with 2.6.13-mm3 and 2.6.14-rc2-mm1).
It compiles, but the module doesn't actually load because the kernel doesn't
recognize the hardware (the MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE statement is missing).
The attached patch fixes this.
However, the resulting module still doesn't work.
It loads, and then garbles the display (black screen with a couple of yellow
lines, no matter what is written into the framebuffer device).
Did you compile CONFIG_FRAMEBUFFER_CONSOLE statically, or did a modprobe fbcon?
Does i810fb work if compiled statically?
I tried the module on my i815 laptop, after modprobe the module does nothing.
The call to pci_register_driver() returns 0, and thats it; the probe function
does not get called. Same thing with Bernhard's patch applied. No problems
when compiled-in. Kernel 2.6.14-rc2-mm1, AGP compiled in, no DRM.
