    Hi,

    I see that you have updated MAINTAINERS.  Good.

    Does openRISC support VGA console?
    I tried to send a patch to Jason a few days ago.
    Please look at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147968525011508&w=2 
<http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=147968525011508&w=2>
    (or I can resend it if you wish).

    The kbuild test bot has been reporting this build error for several
    months.  If my fix is wrong, please submit something else.

    Thanks.

Hi Randy,

This is a known issue. This patch (https://github.com/openrisc/linux/pull/5) 
should take care of it. Can't say if it's the correct solution though, but it 
works both with and without a VGA console

Thanks.

Hello,

I think I will take Randy's patch instead. The patch above defines screen_info, but I am not sure if it has been used or if anyone has got vga consoles working on openrisc.

We can always add vga console support if someone has the hardware and can test it. It will be harder to take it away.
