I've read that it has something to do with clipping and that the brightness control register is silently ignored. I happen to have an IRIX installtion on my Indy as well, and I tried finding out how to read the VINO registers from IRIX, but with no luck. I suppose that there must be some kernel-space piece of code to read the GIO (?) memory around adress 0x00080000, but I am not able to figure out how to do this in IRIX. Perhaps someone (with al little bit more kernel-hacking experience) could guide me a little bit on doing this? Are there other people beside ladis who are attemping to enhance the VINO driver in the linux kernel, and if so, what are your findings? I would really like to contribute to VINO development, but it's quite opaque matter to me, as the VINO spec is quite unclear and I am not certain what's exactly going wrong in the VINO driver. regards, -- Jorik Jonker http://boeventronie.net/
