[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] mga_vid for 2.6 - updated

[Ferdinand O. Tempel]

Hi,

I took the remarks Attila made in #mplayerdev and a problem report
someone *did* send me this week, and produced the following, updated
patch against current CVS. If only someone would have reported this
stuff to me or on a mailinglist sooner, instead of just complaining on
IRC, then maybe there would have been less problems with this stuff in
the firstplace.

Changes:
- Fix module parameter handling to deal with arrays
- Honour default behaviour, and put the default mga_vid device on major
number 178. Use 'major=0' as module parameter to have the kernel
dynamically generate a major number.

Note: The warnings which appear when building the module seem to be
warnings generated by issues in the kernel code, not mga_vid.

DISCLAIMER:
There are likely still bugs in this code. I did my best to find them, at
least for 2.6. I have *NOT* built this updated module on 2.4 let alone
tested it. It *SHOULD* work on 2.4, however, as in the past I tried to
take great care in not breaking that part. If you *DO* find bugs, or
have any problems, contact *ME* via email, or send something to the
appropriate mailing lists, which I tend to follow by browsing archives.
I'm not a mindreader, so include a *DECENT* bugreport. See
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html for hints. Thanks.
