Re: [Linux-fbdev-devel] Re: Chips & Tech 69000 driver...

[Jordan C. <jo...@Ce...>]

Tea, thanks for passing this on!

My driver is always available from http://cosmic.censoft.com.  The most 
recent version is mostly a port of Adrian's driver to 2.4.X, and also 
provides dual head support for multiple C&T69K drivers.  I know that Adrian 
was going to try to merge everything together to get a new Asiliant driver 
submitted to Linus and friends, but I don't know that is going (I know he is 
busy).  

There are 1 and 1/2 bugs that I have on my version - Somehow i did a stupid 
thing and made Tux disapear from the console during bootup.  The other 1/2 
bug is that the text scrolling is also confused during startup.  Other than 
that, it works great.  

So grab it and see if it can help you.  
Jordan
