Hi John, Im not having any problems using GIT. I can download 2.6.26 using git no problem - i think wangyanlong would like to use 2.6.24 or 2.6.26 and he has problems downloading it using git - hence i replied to him that he may find more info about how to download the current or previous version on git.xilinx.com. I think you misread my email.
The Xilinx Framebuffer driver works fine in Linux 2.6.24 but there appears to be a problem with one of the Linux-2.6.26 versions which i posted about a few weeks/months ago.
