Two suspicious things for me:
1)
--- a/drivers/video/neofb.c
+++ b/drivers/video/neofb.c
@@ -1295,7 +1295,7 @@ static int neofb_setcolreg(u_int regno,
outb(blue >> 10, 0x3c9);
break;
case 16:
- ((u32 *) fb->pseudo_palette)[regno] =
+ ((u16 *) fb->pseudo_palette)[regno] =
((red & 0xf800)) | ((green & 0xfc00) >> 5) |
((blue & 0xf800) >> 11);
break;
2) palette in neofb_par is "u32 palette[16];" which is 4x16 = 64 bytes.
struct fb_info::pseudo_palette is assigned to it in neo_alloc_fb_info().
Yet, we check at the beginning of neofb_setcolreg() for color map
length which neofb advertises as 256 which seems too many.
printk()s showing "regno" at the beginning of neofb_setcolreg()
welcome.
Alexey, who only knows how to spell framebuffer and a bit.
