HOWTO: m3mirror & recent 2.6 kernels

[Julien BLACHE <jblache@debian.org>]

Hi,

For those of you still relying on m3mirror for slideshows, here's
how to make it work with a modern 2.6 kernel.

Edit arch/powerpc/kernel/prom_init.c, then, in prom_check_displays()
add a break; statement at the very end of the for() loop.

As usual, the idea is that only the first display must be opened by
the prom, otherwise m3mirror doesn't work.

HTH,

JB.
