Subject: [9fans] vesa, vga, and intel i81x driver
Date: Fri, 29 Apr 2005 12:34:43 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ee9e417a050429093463cb5eeb@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

If you know anything about the vga i81x driver,
please email me.  I'm confused about what it's
trying to do with the memory for the frame buffer,
so as a result the new vesa kernels don't support it
(the frame buffer interface changed and all the
native drivers got reworked).

If you use the vga i81x driver, email me too.

Thanks to those who have been sending vesa reports.
I'd love to get more.  Right now it sounds like there are

    3dfx
    clgd542x
    mach64xx
    nvidia
    s3 savage

that are working, but I don't know about the

    ark2000pv
    clgd546x
    ct65545
    cyber938x
    et4000
    hiqvideo
    mga2164w
    mga4xx
    neomagic
    s3 non-savage
    t2r4

When you test please be sure to try both vesa and non-vesa,
since both have changed.

Thanks.
Russ
