The frame buffer size now matches what is really there (4 MB). Out of curiosity, where are the magic registers (0xAC1C, 0xAC1E) documented? I searched "AMD Geode GX Processors Data Book", but had no luck... Also, I notice that the pci_resource_len() shows 16 MB, even though the resource should only cover 4 MB. I assume this is a BIOS bug... =) Is there anything I can do to help get this pushed into the 2.6.19 kernel? Thanks, Ben |
