Some ioctls may not be supported by the kernel however their failure is non-fatal to the driver. Unfortunately we only know once we try to execute the ioctl however the sematics of the fbdev driver API doesn't allow upper layers to disable the call. Instead of changing the fbdevHW driver API just disable the call to this ioctl on the module level when detecting such a case.

This is a submodule to access linux framebuffer devices. It is supported to work as helper module (like vgahw) for the chipset drivers. There are functions for saving/restoring/setting video modes, set palette entries, and a few more helper functions. Some of them can be hooked directly into ScrnInfoRec. In ../drivers/fbdev is a "chipset" driver. It is a simple, non-accelerated and hardware-independent driver which works on top of this fbdevhw submodule.
