Subject: [PATCH] Frame buffer device driver updates


	Hi Linus,


Here are again the updates for the frame buffer devices, this time relative to
2.1.130pre3:


  - matroxfb: many fixes, mainly multi-platform
  - atyfb: recognize ATI RAGE IIC and ATI RAGE LT PRO, fix a bug that caused
	   the trashing of the SRC_OFF_PITCH acceleration register
  - cyberfb: revamped version that knows how to fully initialize a S3 Trio64
  - fbcon-iplan2p*: support fontheights that are not powers of 2 on Atari
  - Fix logo displaying on Amiga interleaved bitplanes (ilbm)
  - Fix changing resolution of all VCs at once, and make it work with the
    old `vmode' command in backwards compatibility mode on PowerMac/CHRP
  - vesafb: avoid crash when pan or wrap isn't available


Changes compared to previous version:


  - Atyfb is now known to work on ia32, too.
  - Update Documentation/fb/framebuffer.txt
  - compat_con no longer exists, so we can remove it's declaration
  - Get rid of a warning in tgafb
  - Bug fixes in fbcon.c:
      o Fix a NULL pointer bug that occurred for frame buffer devices that
	can't softblank.
      o There was a problem in clear_margin() if the margin below the last
	physical line was smaller than the bottom visual margin. In this case
	clear_margin() tried to clear the screen above the last memory address.


Thanks for applying these!
