Thanks! I'd be glad to. I tried doing this with pre6, and it failed; I attached the oops to a previous message to fbdev, the hang seemed to be in init_vgachip. (Also, the board was mis-identified as having 32 MB RAM, it has just 4 MB.) This is on a StarMax 3000/160 (=pmac 4400) with a MacPicasso 540. I don't see any changes to init_vgachip in pre7-8; is there reason to believe this will work? Unfortunately, I seem to have lost the original message with the patch, and it doesn't seem to be in the archive at linux-fbdev.org or linuxppc.org (was it sent to either list?). Did the patch make it into pre7-8? (The clgenfb version there is 1.9.5; the vga16fb patch posted last Friday seems to have made it in.) If not, could someone please resend it to me?
