Some warnings at tdfxfb.c

2001-05-27 Thread David =?ISO-8859-1?Q?G=F3mez
This is on kernel 2.4.5. It's look like a long time has passed since this driver was modified. Haven't tested if works, but things like using char *name in tdfxb_init without initializing needs some fix. Is enough to do a kmalloc to get some free space? gcc -D__KERNEL__
