In the fall I am going to slowly merge in the changes in /n/sources/contrib/rsc, one by one, with sufficient testing periods inbetween to isolate problems. Things beside vesa are different in that code, and some of those things break existing card support. > Btw. including the radeon driver, which seems to be not available at > the moment, could also be very helpful. Jmk has a Radeon card (either a 9200 or 9600) with DVI output. If someone sends him a Radeon driver that works on that card, then it will go into the distribution. Until then, it won't. That's been the story for probably a year now but no one has done it. Are you volunteering? Russ
