> Commit "drm/vmwgfx: correct fb_fix_screeninfo.line_length", while fixing a
> vmwgfx fbdev bug, also writes the pitch to a supposedly read-only register:
> SVGA_REG_BYTES_PER_LINE, while it should be (and also in fact is) written to
> SVGA_REG_PITCHLOCK.
>
> There has been some reports of incorrect rendering with the mentioned commit
> and Ubuntu 12.04. While hard to reproduce, hopefully this patch will correct
> that issue.
