0001-Add-libpciaccess-support-to-generic-vga-driver.patch

I posted this patch at xorg@ some time ago. Posting again
to avoid it being lost.

   The driver isn't really functional, but if the patch to reenable
the missing function mfbChangeWindowAttributes aka
xf1bppChangeWindowAttributes is added, at least there will exist
no missing symbols...

  Minor "cosmetic" extra patch, don't define a symbol not used when
libpciaccess is used.

  Remade in a single patch as patch2 was also related.

  Note that the vga driver needs compiling the X Server
with --enable-mfb as it is not built by default anymore.
Comment 3 Paulo César Pereira de Andrade 2008-07-18 14:57:44 UTC
  It compiles and is usable is special cases.

Comment 5 Paulo César Pereira de Andrade 2008-07-29 14:51:36 UTC
  Fixed in commit 97e2d12548921d92b6dc2dcce8abee48f25981d2.

  The driver is expected to be functional only in a very
few special cases, that include using the console in an
standard vga mode, and from basic tests, it is only working
at 320x200 8bpp (i.e. mode 0x13).
