Subject: [PATCH] Remove remnants of CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT (read: vga=)
Date: Thu, 4 Sep 2008 01:03:02 +0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080903210302.GA4006@x200.localdomain> (raw)
Video mode selection became always possible in 2.6.23-rc1 after i386 setup
code rewrite in C.
Regardless, VIDEO_SELECT is stupid config option because it affects only
kernel setup code, not code which always stays in memory.
vga= always possible now which is good.
