Hi,

Attached you'll find a new and improved patch for getting mga_vid to
work on 2.6 kernels. This time it won't break compiling on non-devfs 2.4
kernels (this time I tested). Kudos to Reimar for that one. I can't
vouch for 2.4 kernels *with* devfs, but I hear it already worked on
that.
This one is tested on:
- 2.6.7
- 2.6.7 + devfs
- 2.4.26

With respect to the problem of getting the MGA card detected in some
systems, it seems that removing the CFLAGS line in the Makefile fixes
that problem for some. I got one report back of the module failing to
compile with that as workaround, but that too I haven't been able to
reproduce. This issue is bugging me to no end, and the more information
I gather (thanks guys!), the more confusing it gets. For those who want
to try, I attached a patch against the Makefile too, to remove the
CFLAGS. Besides, most of those already get passed on to the module build
by the kernel's kbuild anyway (build with `make V=1` to see more
output).
