Regarding PCI IDs, I'm changing that now, I decided to add a separate drivers/video/aty/ati_ids.h containing a copy of XFree ATI PCI IDs instead of using the include/linux/pci_ids.h one. That may see odd, but it helps a lot avoiding the merge problems and makes it easier to resync with XFree. This is already the case in my bk btw. Regarding your problem, I don't know what's up with spaces vs '_', that doesn't ring any bell to me, especially since there is no use of HW accel in this version, so the chars are really only drawn by the core fbdev layer. What do you mean by "reliable mode". What do you get when trying to use another mode ? It's normal that fbset doesn't work properly in 2.6, this is a known issue. What did you try and what result did you get ? Ben. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
