Now, I have an Epson card on hand (13806) which I know to be working on ppc, and which has drivers as a kernel patch for 2.4.21, and I have a radeon card on hand which I used to like because of its vesa 2.0 compliance. The first brings up the problem of porting the patch to the 2.4.26 kernel, which Arabella/Yuli Barcohen customized to the MPC8272ADS. The latter, according to Yuli himself, won't work because of BIOS initialization issues. I do not mind buying another card if necessary (time is at a greater premium), but I would like to know that there is a 2.4.6 driver for it or that it is supported by Arabella's kernel. Anyone here using the Arabella BSP on the 8272ADS with a frame buffer on it ? What setup are you using? -Federico
