It can happen on these systems that the AFB information is gone from the dmesg output by the time that afbinit wants to load the microcode. If this happens, older versions will not see the Elite frame buffer and so the load will fail. In this version, with current kernels we just look unconditionally at any /proc/fb devices. *afbinit-1.0.1-r6 (31 Oct 2007) 31 Oct 2007; Ferris McCormick +files/rc.afb-1.0.1-r6.patch, +afbinit-1.0.1-r6.ebuild: Version bump for change in dmesg format to report FFB devices. 28 Apr 2007; Sven Wegener afbinit-1.0.1-r4.ebuild: Fix *initd, *confd and *envd calls (#173884, #174266) 28 Apr 2007; Torsten Veller afbinit-1.0.1-r5.ebuild: Use newinitd 16 Nov 2006; Ferris McCormick afbinit-1.0.1-r5.ebuild: Marking stable and closing Bug #132464 --- No new problems have been reported for 3 months, and this change is needed for afb+current kernels. 22 Oct 2006; David Shakaryan -afbinit-1.0.1-r3.ebuild: Remove older version. 11 Aug 2006; Ferris McCormick -afbinit-1.0.1-r2.ebuild: Remove completely obsolete version. *afbinit-1.0.1-r5 (09 Aug 2006) 09 Aug 2006; Ferris McCormick +files/rc.afb-1.0.1-r5.patch, afbinit-1.0.1-r4.ebuild, +afbinit-1.0.1-r5.ebuild: afbinit-1.0.1-r4 stable on sparc. afbinit-1.0.1-r5 modifies /usr/sbin/rc.afb so that it uses /dev/fbxx for the Elite framebuffer device(s) rather than /dev/fb/xx, because with current kernels, baselayout, udev, it seems that /dev/fb/xx devices no longer exist, and /dev/fbxx are the real devices rather than symbolic links into /dev/fb. This fixes Bug #132464 once again, thanks to Jan Holtzhausen (and to IRC user je_fro for raising the issue as well). 06 May 2006; Ferris McCormick afbinit-1.0.1-r4.ebuild: Add an RDEPEND for util-linux (it seems one could actually build a system without /bin/more on it.) *afbinit-1.0.1-r4 (06 May 2006) 06 May 2006; Ferris McCormick +files/rc.afb-1.0.1-r4.patch, +afbinit-1.0.1-r4.ebuild: Version bump. Proposed fix for Bug #132464 --- problems with afbinit and '/cat/ -s'. 28 Apr 2006; Alec Warner files/digest-afbinit-1.0.1-r2, Manifest: Fixing SHA256 digest, pass four 26 Feb 2006; Ferris McCormick afbinit-1.0.1-r3.ebuild: Mark stable. This needs to go stable because it is required by kernels >= 2.6.15, and they are required on SB1000 (earlier kernels have race instability problems of an unreproducible but unpredictable nature showing up as SegFaults and inability to build some packages, like sbcl). Change uses mmap shared rather than private, and should be safe on all systems. Used only in init sequence. Change courtesy Jurij Smakov. *afbinit-1.0.1-r3 (31 Jan 2006) 31 Jan 2006; Ferris McCormick -files/rc.afb-1.0.1-r2.patch, +files/afbinit-mmap-1.0.1.patch, +files/rc.afb-1.0.1.patch, afbinit-1.0.1-r2.ebuild, +afbinit-1.0.1-r3.ebuild: Version bump to support kernels > 2.6.14, and to rename patch files to reflect that patches are revision-neutral. Change is required because of kernel change in afb driver. (Thanks to Jurij Smakov and Debian Linux for sparc.) 15 Jan 2006; Krzysiek Pawlik -afbinit-1.0.1.ebuild, -afbinit-1.0.1-r1.ebuild: Removed old versions. 22 Oct 2004; Ferris McCormick afbinit-1.0.1-r2.ebuild: Mark stable for sparc. This has been working fine for both kernel-2.4.xx and kernel-2.6.x systems. If you have afb+kernel-2.6 it is required, and that is becoming less uncommon. 28 Jun 2004; Aron Griffis afbinit-1.0.1-r1.ebuild, afbinit-1.0.1-r2.ebuild, afbinit-1.0.1.ebuild: glibc -> libc 27 May 2004; Ferris McCormick afbinit-1.0.1-r1.ebuild, afbinit-1.0.1-r2.ebuild: Mark 1.0.1-r1 stable for sparc, and add ~keyword to 1.0.1-r2 for testing: 1.0.1-r2 is required for afb (Elite) systems which are running 2.6.x kernels. *afbinit-1.0.1-r2 (27 May 2004) 27 May 2004; Ferris McCormick afbinit-1.0.1-r2.ebuild, files/rc.afb-1.0.1-r2.patch: Version bump to add code to load the afb microcode for kernel 2.6.x series as well as for 2.4.x. 14 Apr 2004; Daniel Ahlberg afbinit-1.0.1-r1.ebuild, afbinit-1.0.1.ebuild: Added IUSE=. 24 Jan 2004; Brandon Hale metadata.xml: Fix corrupted metadata, bug 39234. *afbinit-1.0.1-r1 (08 Jul 2003) 08 Jul 2003; Jason Wever afbinit-1.0.1-r1.ebuild, files/afbinit.init: Changed afbinit install path to /usr/sbin and added rc.afb into /usr/sbin as well. Also added init script for afbinit thanks to Steve Moret . *afbinit-1.0.1 (27 May 2003) 27 May 2003; Jason Wever afbinit-1.0.1.ebuild: Initial commit.
