The C7xx's contain the ATI w100 video chip which doesn't have mainstream kernel support at present. Sharp did release a driver against 2.4.18 and I've ported this across to the 2.6 series. I've also made some fairly large changes to the driver to tidy it up and create support for certain video modes Sharp never enabled. I'd like to discuss whether it'd be possible to include this driver in a future kernel? The driver is available at: http://www.rpsys.net/openzaurus/w100-r1.patch . I'm aware the corgi_backlight file included above is out of place and it will be moved into the arch/arm/mach-pxa folder. I'm also aware some fb changes made in 2.6.10-rc2 need to be applied to this file. Are there any other problems with the driver as it stands that would prevent its inclusion, or areas in the driver that it would be advisable to change/improve? If the driver would be acceptable, what method of submission is preferred? (the sourceforge pages seem inactive) Thanks, Richard ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: InterSystems CACHE FREE OODBMS DOWNLOAD - A multidimensional database that combines robust object and relational technologies, making it a perfect match for Java, C++,COM, XML, ODBC and JDBC. www.intersystems.com/match8
