cyber2000fb - 24bpp and 32bpp modes not working
Hello, some more CyberPro 2000 testing shows that 24bpp and 32bpp modes don't work. 8bpp and 16bpp modes work fine. The mode appears to be set correctly (monitor OSD shows correct resolution and frequency) but console remains blank (even no cursor). Xorg with fbdev in 24bpp mode displays mouse cursor, then g... 28 Jul 2010 16:16

[PATCH 1/4] timer: Added usleep[_range] timer
usleep[_range] are finer precision implementations of msleep and are designed to be drop-in replacements for udelay where a precise sleep / busy-wait is unnecessary. They also allow an easy interface to specify slack when a precise (ish) wakeup is unnecessary to help minimize wakeups By default, usleep introduce... 28 Jul 2010 16:16

[PATCH 3/4] Checkpatch: prefer usleep over udelay
When possible, sleeping is (usually) better than delaying; however, don't bother callers of udelay < 10us, as those cases are generally not worth the switch to usleep Signed-off-by: Patrick Pannuto <ppannuto(a)codeaurora.org> --- scripts/checkpatch.pl | 8 ++++++++ 1 files changed, 8 insertions(+), 0 deletion... 28 Jul 2010 16:16

[PATCH 2/4] Documentation: Add timers/timers-howto.txt
This file seeks to explain the nuances in various delays; many driver writers are not necessarily familiar with the various kernel timers, their shortfalls, and quirks. When faced with ndelay, udelay, mdelay, usleep, usleep_range, msleep, and msleep_interrubtible the question "How do I just wait 1 ms for my h... 28 Jul 2010 16:16

[PATCH v2 0/4] timer: Added usleep[_range] timer
After writing both documentation and a checkpatch rule explaining why the usleep API should never be used, it occurred to me that perhaps such an API should never be added :) - at least not in its previous form. This iteration is similar, with the notable difference that now usleep has a "built-in slack" of 200%... 28 Jul 2010 16:16

Can you please indicate which tree this is against when you post these patches? They don't apply cleanly to Linus's current tree which is where I tend to try first when the tree is unspecified, as I imagine others do as well. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the... 29 Jul 2010 02:06
