[Linux-fbdev-devel] patch: XPERT98 support in atyfb

[Steve L. <st...@mv...>]

Hi,

Here's a patch to the atyfb driver to support the XPERT98
PCI card (Rage XL).

Although I've tested this patch on a PC and it works, the
patch really benefits the embedded world, because it includes
a new module (xlinit.c) that chip-inits the card for non-PC
platforms that can't execute the video BIOS.

Please test this patch! The XPERT98 PCI card is still being
sold by ATI, and can be had for $50 US. Also please test
with other CT-based cards/systems supported by the original
atyfb driver. The patch makes theoretically inocuous changes to
the programming of other CT-based cards.

Sorry, the patch is gzipped (too big for the mailing list uncompressed).
