I cannot reproduce this error I'm affraid, vesafb-tng support is working fine
here with gentoo-sources-2.6.12-r9. Maybe it has to do something with using
GCC4, can't think of anything else right now.

[Comment 2 Michal Januszewski (RETIRED) 2005-08-21 13:04:48 UTC]

It seems that gentoo-sources are still using an old version of vesafb-tng.

dsd: can we update vesafb-tng to vesafb-tng-0.9-rc7-r1-2.6.13-rc6 when
g-s-2.6.13 are released?

[Comment 3 Daniel Drake (RETIRED) 2005-08-21 13:57:21 UTC]

Yes that is already in the tree
