As you can see I have ported the 3dfx fbdev driver to the new api. It has been tested on my home system and it works. I like others to try it out. The patch is against 2.5.5-dj2 http://www.transvirtual.com/~jsimmons/tdfx.diff Thank you. . --- |o_o | |:_/ | Give Micro$oft the Bird!!!! // \ \ Use Linux!!!! (| | ) /'_ _/`\ ___)=(___/ |

I think the driver hasn't changed. I does work for me. Did you try it out again. |

I didn't look too deeply last time, but it died immediately on switching the display, and was really dead, no keyboard leds, nada. I'll take another look later if I get chance -- | Dave Jones. http://www.codemonkey.org.uk | SuSE Labs |

However, the VIDCFG_2X handling in his patch worked, and the kernel (pre-2.4.18) didn't. Luckily, a small patch was accepted to change that. I'm willing to test any patches for tdfxfb on Alpha. Good luck, Jurriaan -- One guide for speakers of Klingon advises them to begin by purchasing a large supply of napkins. Robert O'Reilly [Gowron] on speaking Klingon.

I tested it last night and it worked for me. That doesn't mean much so if you could give it a try. BTW the penguin will not show up. I need to expand the imageblit function but it is not top priority right now. |

Normally with this box, when the fb starts, the top 3rd of the screen has a large white rectangle blitted onto it for reasons I never figured out. Its purely cosmetic (it disappears when scrolling begins), so it wasn't something I really bothered investigating. It could be that with your reworking, this bug has taken on a new form, and is now doing something more dramatic. -- | Dave Jones. http://www.codemonkey.org.uk | SuSE Labs |

Attila Kesmarki's v0.2.0 patch for tdfxfb fixed this problem for me when I tested it about a year and a half ago, but I don't think his updates were ever integrated -- I don't know if there were issues with the changes or not. Anyway, the patches still seem to be up: http://www.medex.hu/~danthe/tdfx/ -- Joseph Fannin jh...@ri... "I think I said something eloquent, like 'Fuck.'" -- Rusty Russell |
