Hi,
I don't think I've seen this mentioned on the mailing lists but I may have
missed it...I've just found out why my new kernel wasn't working nicely with
viafb from CVS when patched with Mark Adams's field-sync patch.
I'm not sure quite what kernel version this happened (possibly 2.6.16) but the
current CVS of linux-viafb has an incorrect prototype for fb_ioctl for
current kernels. The following patch works for me with a 2.6.16.5 kernel but
it probably wants some #ifs adding to check kernel version:

Without the patch, I only got a compiler warning and playback was jerky
because it wasn't doing ioctls properly to sync playback!
Cheers,
