From 38f7aa23c4dd5f9af13dffca49879c42a61b0a01 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Gary Hade Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2011 10:28:59 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] matroxfb: remove incorrect Matrox G200eV support Remove incorrect Matrox G200eV support that was previously added by commit e3a1938805d2e81b27d3d348788644f3bad004f2 A serious issue with the incorrect G200eV support that reproduces on the Matrox G200eV equipped IBM x3650 M2 is the total lack of text (login banner, login prompt, etc) on the console when X is not running and total lack of text on all of the virtual consoles after X is started. Any concerns that the incorrect code (upstream since October 2008) has been successfully used on non-IBM G200eV equipped system(s) appear to be unwarranted. In addition to the serious/non-intermittent nature of issues that have been spotted on IBM systems, complete removal of the incorrect code is clearly supported by the following Matrox (Yannick Heneault) provided input: "It impossible that this patch should have work on a system. The patch only declare the G200eV as a regular G200 which is not case. Many registers are different, including at least the PLL programming sequence. If the G200eV is programmed like a regular G200, it will not display anything." v1 - Initial patch that removed the incorrect code for _all_ G200eV equipped systems. v2 - Darrick Wong provided patch that blacklisted the incorrect code on G200eV equipped IBM systems leaving it enabled on all G200eV equipped non-IBM systems. v3 - Same code changes included with v1 plus additional justification for complete removal of the incorrect code.
