I folks. I just wanted to let you know. I fixed the problem with
take_over_console. With the voodoo 3 driver translated to the new api it
works like a charm. I have it running along side mdacon. Now that
take_over_console now works vesafb can be worked on. I haven't tried out
the cfbfillrect and friends function calls yet. Vesafb needs them to work
for fbcon. The idea was to switch in the cfbfillrect and friends one at a
time to test them against what we know works, the native tdfx accel
funtions. If possible I like someone to test out cfbfillrect and that on a
voodoo 3 card if possible or if you are brave with the vesafb driver try
it with it. I want to work on andrew's removal of the console lock patch
this weekend. With this patch it will be possible to have DMA/irq based
fbdev drivers. BTW with in mind brad could you work on a DMA based aty128
driver. I really like to give it a spin. We shoudl both finish at about
the same time I figure. Take a look at the 3dfx driver for a example
driver. Thanks.
