Grsecurity makes uvesafb disappear

Postby Pryka » Sun Jun 26, 2011 1:37 pm

Hello, this is my first post, and I want to apologise for my English I'm from Poland :)

Today I'm applied fbcondecor-0.9.6-3.0-rc2.patch and secondly grsecurity-2.2.2-2.6.39.2-201106251441.patch to the vanilla-sources in Gentoo.

After that I'm configure framebuffer and grsecurity but I'm notice that the:

Code: Select all
Device Driver---->Connector - unified userspace <-> kernelspace linker

and
Code: Select all
Graphics support ---> Support for frame buffer devices ---> Userspace VESA VGA graphics support

are disappearing from menuconfig when I turn "on" grsecurity in configuration... So I have to choose between framebuffer and grsecurity... I can't build kernel with both...

Why?

Thanks for any help, and again sorry for my English.

Best Regards.

in drivers/connector/Kconfig, move the added "&& !GRKERNSEC" from the CONFIG_CONNECTOR depends line to the one for CONNECTOR_PROC. I'll review the other cases of connector use by the kernel and update it in the patch.
