Ben, could you make sure that the code to enable/access the ROM works on your Macs since I don't own one? Did you finish merging what was left of the Rage/Radeon PCI IDs from my patch? EDID plus ROM will solve both problems: multiple adpaters and Mac portables needing EDID. --- Benjamin Herrenschmidt wrote: > > > Ok, I've a working implementation of the I2C code for radeonfb :) > > The bug was very stupid: 0x50 became 0x20 and I spent a couple of weeks > > wondering why it didn't work... > > > > I've tested the code on a R300 board but it should work on any radeon.
