Currently, when I run SDL applications as non-root using SDL_VIDEODRIVER=dga, the fbdev fallback mprotect()s read/write the proper size of mmapped /dev/fb0 (7.5MB), but on framebuffer release mprotect()s read-only the range by the entire size of my video memory (128MB), which causes a segfault: #0 0x002a9a27 in ??

I've attached a one-line patch against SDL CVS that updates the size of the framebuffer at framebuffer map time so that the mprotect() on unmap will be the same size. I'm not sure if this is the best approach (i.e. one might want to retain the original value), but it does make my SDL applications work without segfaulting. -- Best of luck, Mark Schreiber diff -r 867f521591e5 -r dd2a8deeb26d src/video/Xext/Xxf86dga/XF86DGA2.c --- a/src/video/Xext/Xxf86dga/XF86DGA2.c Thu Nov 17 03:43:42 2005 +0000 +++ b/src/video/Xext/Xxf86dga/XF86DGA2.c Sat Nov 19 18:57:00 2005 +0000 @@ -957,7 +957,7 @@ (((long)finfo.smem_start)&~(PAGE_SIZE-1))) */ base = 0; - size = finfo.smem_len; + size = pMap->size = finfo.smem_len; } #else return False;
