[Linux-fbdev-devel] 2.5 vs. aty128fb & radeonfb

[Benjamin H. <be...@ke...>]

Hi !

Does somebody plans to update 2.5 with versions of these drivers that
at least build ? They have been broken for ages now.

If not, then I'll do my own fixing and submit that.

Regards,
Ben.

I believe aty128fb is updated to the new API, and I'll get around to
radeonfb soon, I have to merge a large chunk of code into it and 2.4 at
the same time.

Sorry about that. Pretty soon, next few days, I'm going to be submitting
changes to the fbdev layer which breaks any driver not converted over to
the new fbdev api. It needs to be done.


P.S

   Since the console system can use IRQ/DMA based modes for graphics cards
it would be nice to the ati 128 card converted over to use the CCE engine
