From 9350cc90ca8a72bc1974f76a9922f91ced84a5cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michal Januszewski Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2008 22:03:47 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] uvesafb: don't treat mode info retrieval failures as errors Some BIOSes return error codes when queried for information about modes from their own modelist. uvesafb treats this as an error case and bails out. Change this behavior so that broken modes do not prevent the driver from working. Only the failure to retrieve information about any usable video mode is considered to be an error case.
