I own both Rage and Radeon cards so I can do some testing. I'll also add DDC support if they'll give me that info. I spent last night disassembling their ROMs. The reset procedure is not too difficult. But I would much rather do it with support from ATI documentation. It is easy to misinterpret a disassembly. Do you have a personal contact there? Maybe they can be convinced to publicly release documentation for their older products. I'm sure NVidia doesn't care how the Rage chip works any more. It would make a good PR release about ATI being a community citizen. It would also free their developer relations group from hassling with open source developers on older cards. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
