Bug#463129: i810fb: module parameter 'mode_option' inconsistent with other framebuffer modules
Package: linux-2.6
Severity: important
While all other framebuffer modules use the option "mode=..." to specify
a modedb-style video mode, i810fb uses the non-standard
"mode_option=..." This breaks the use of "video=i810fb:<videomode>" boot
parameter, such that for instance "video=i810fb:1024x768" doesn't work.
The boot scripts parse the "<videomode>" parameter internally and pass
it to the correct module as 'mode=<videomode>'.
