Moritz Bruder requested to merge muesli4/xserver:fix-fbdevhw-fbdev-open-for-symlinks into master Dec 17, 2022

Commit Message

Resolve symbolic links before the PCI device check in fbdev_open.
Otherwise, opening device files that are symbolic links will fail.

Signed-off-by: Moritz Bruder <muesli4@gmail.com>

Testing Done

I successfully built and tested it on my Raspberry Pi where I have a path that is a symbolic link for the fbdev key in my configuration.
