Hello dear list! With 2.5.54 there is something like success with my hardware. Now I get a cursor at the right position. I can't see what I type, but I see the cursor moving correctly. After unloading atyfb the console still behaves this way, nothing changes. Are there some options I should set ? I am currently just loading atyfb (with recognizes my card as PCI although it's AGP; seen in dmesg). Greetings, Nico --=20 Please send your messages pgp-signed and/or pgp-encrypted (don't encrypt ma= ils to mailing list!). If you don't know what pgp is visit www.gnupg.org.

Atyfb is known not to work on some Rage Mobility P/M (incl. the one in my Vaio

A have a few patchs for atyfb that I haven't got around to applying just
yet. One is Popov non BIOS patch for some cards. I have another patch for
a new DAC for older MACH 64 cards. The big issue I like to see solved is
to us ethe hardware cursor. Right now I have it disabled, its using
soft_cursor. I haven't had the time to look at teh specs for how the data
is layed out for the cursor image. We have in atyfb.h
struct aty_cursor {
u8 bits[8][64];
u8 mask[8][64];
u8 *ram;
}
This is really weird. I like to translate to the new api.

Each pixel in the Mach64 cursor has 4 possible values: transparent, inverting,
color0, or color1. It's size is 64x64, i.e. 64 rows of 8 bits per plane.
