Good, adding new cards would become easy but i really like the pci_ids.h approach as is a centralized db, it doesn't take much time to update the driver to work with my card. > 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".

I can't set my fbdev to anything different than the booted mode 640x480-8@60, trying anything else brings me a black screen or unsynched monitor, i am using Jon's merged driver (benh+khronos) so probably is not your driver's fault (but edid support is very tempting, although is not used because i'm working now on an old monitor without ddc :), i will try your driver alone and report back. -solca ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
