SDL + fbcon = weird colors

SDL Development
1

Hello,

I am getting weird colors in 16/32 bpp in an VIA custom
board with savagefb and in qemu (cirrusfb).

For example running the testsprite from the SDL/tests I get.

board	qemu

8bpp yellow yellow (correct)
16bpp mauve mauve
32bpp red x

Has anybody see this? If yes please post here so I know
that I am not alone in a world with strange colors. If you
have a suggestion or workaround wouldn’t hurt either…

Ok looks that nowadays if you follow compiler warnings closely
all bugs will be resolved by you. This one was that a non void
function (do_mmap) was not returning anything.
I also silenced a warning since I was in janitor mode.

patch against current svn SDL 1.2 attached. please apply
