When functionality was implemented for situation when enhanced area is not enabled the value 0 was being used. After someone's suggestion 0 was changed into -ENIVAL. Variables are still unsigned. This patch was to change displaying part from unsigned into signed but you are right it should be investigated. I think we could: - use 0 instead of -ENIVAL and then leave variables unsigned as it is, - change variables and printfs into signed - or leave it unchanged as the file is out there for >5 Please let me know your suggestions if the update of the patch is appreciated.
