Bug Description

Binary package hint: xorg

"I sent this patch in to the mailing list last Monday. dexconf wasn't
detecting the ps3fb correctly on hardy. Because of this it misses out a
couple of options that are meant to be explicitly set for PS3. It's a
very very small change.

https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-x/2008-May/000157.html

From: Dan Munckton <daniel at munckfish.net>

The output of cat /proc/fb on 2.6.24 is "0 ps3fb". Dexconf was searching for "PS3" and was therefore failing to detect the platform correctly.

Bryce, can you please reupload to hardy-proposed with -I.git, to filter out all the .git stuff? It makes the tarball unnecessarily large and is not required for an SRU, so let's keep the changes as small as possible. The actual diff is fine. Subscribed ubuntu-sru.

Dan, are you able to confirm that the updated dexconf in hardy-proposed works for you? I fear that no one else subscribed to this bug report has the hardware necessary to confirm this as a good fix.
