Hello,

as for the patch for udlfb, I forgot to mention that this is a candidate for all stable trees 3.2 and above.

Btw., the address of the maintainer doesn't seem to be valid anymore.

Regards,

Alexander

Line 0 and 1 were both written to line 0 (on the display) and all subsequent
lines had an offset of -1. The result was that the last line on the display
was never overwritten by writes to /dev/fbN.

The origin of this bug seems to have been udlfb.
