No problems with it. Can you add it to the aty128 driver in 2.6? I tried porting ben's code from his new radeonfb driver into aty128fb but I couldn't get it to work. Also, I2C drivers for Intel810, Savage, Voodoo, etc are implemented as standalone I2C drivers. Ben implemented his and Matrox as an integral part of the fb driver. Wouldn't it be better to implement these all standalone? It's probably the same amount of code, and I can use the standalone ones from Mesa without loading framebuffer support. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
