From 0f821f9d7f0ed17f11602c9a93bed09186560ee9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrew Morton Date: Mon, 29 Dec 2003 23:46:56 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] change two annoying messages from framebuffer drivers From: Michael Hunold the Linux-on-a-CD system Knoppix has nearly all framebuffer drivers for 2.4.23 compiled in. Additionally, it surpresses most kernel messages by lowering the kernel log level. Two framebuffer drivers (clgenfb.c and hgafb.c), however, use KERN_ERR to say that their particular card has *not* been found which is very annoying. Especially the clgenfb.c driver simply says on bootup: > Couldn't find PCI device which can really confuse newbie users. I've already send a patch that fixes this for 2.4 -- Marcelo and Geert Uytterhoeven have already ack'ed it. The same change should be done for 2.6, too IMHO. The appended patch replaces two KERN_ERR with KERN_INFO and additionally makes the cirrusfb.c message more descriptive. --- drivers/video/cirrusfb.c | 2 +- drivers/video/hgafb.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/video/cirrusfb.c b/drivers/video/cirrusfb.c index cec5a7d9de277..ec9e0a77d6f71 100644 --- a/drivers/video/cirrusfb.c +++ b/drivers/video/cirrusfb.c @@ -2528,7 +2528,7 @@ static int __init clgen_pci_setup (struct clgenfb_info *info, pdev = clgen_pci_dev_get (btype); if (!pdev) { - printk (KERN_ERR " Couldn't find PCI device\n"); + printk (KERN_INFO "cirrusfb: couldn't find Cirrus Logic PCI device\n"); DPRINTK ("EXIT, returning 1\n"); return 1; } diff --git a/drivers/video/hgafb.c b/drivers/video/hgafb.c index 79e5e860ab3a1..617734e46688f 100644 --- a/drivers/video/hgafb.c +++ b/drivers/video/hgafb.c @@ -539,7 +539,7 @@ static struct fb_ops hgafb_ops = { int __init hgafb_init(void) { if (! hga_card_detect()) { - printk(KERN_ERR "hgafb: HGA card not detected.\n"); + printk(KERN_INFO "hgafb: HGA card not detected.\n"); return -EINVAL; } -- 2.53.0
