xen-sdlfb is defunct.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:

3.
  
Actual results:
xen-sdlfb is defunct

Expected results:
xen-sdlfb run successfully at DomU boot.

Additional info:

When I try yamahata's patch, this problem still keeps.
So I guess this is not a problem in xc_map_foreign_range.

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2006-10-30 12:02:42 UTC
Quite likely to be the same issue as in bug  212515  but not confirmed.


Comment 2 Atsushi SAKAI 2006-10-31 00:06:00 UTC
I checked it by apply isaku fix.
but the bug still keeps it seems not xc_map_foreign_range problem.

Comment 3 Atsushi SAKAI 2006-12-07 10:29:02 UTC
I watch through 2767.el5.
Still remain isaku-fix only(it fixes by driver part).
If this Driver fix still plan to keep, please apply folloiwng patch.
then, RHEL5-IA64 xenfb works. 
this fixes for vmalloc_to_mfn.

Comment 5 Daniel Berrangé 2007-09-24 23:36:52 UTC
Mis-categorized - the patch in comment #3 is against the kernel, not userspace,
and is for RHEL-5, rather than Fedora

Comment 6 Chris Lalancette 2007-10-05 13:45:31 UTC
I just tried this out on a 5.1 ia64 guest, and it seems to be doing the right
thing.  Can you confirm that this now works, and close it out if so?

Thanks,
Chris Lalancette

Comment 7 fj-lkml 2007-10-05 13:56:23 UTC
We also confirmed 

Thanks
Atsushi SAKAI


Comment 8 Chris Lalancette 2007-10-05 14:05:25 UTC
OK, thanks.  Closing as CURRENTRELEASE.
