From 7a3a3bba93b8d3bb93677838bfe2c1a03e686e72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eugene Teo Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 10:52:13 +0800 Subject: [PATCH] vgaarb: fix "target=default" passing Commit 77c1ff3982c6b36961725dd19e872a1c07df7f3b fixed the userspace pointer dereference, but introduced another bug pointed out by Eugene Teo in RH bug #564264. Instead of comparing the point we were at in the string, we instead compared the beginning of the string to "default".
