It works for the rivafb, hopefully it works = for yours. Hi Antonio, sorry for not answering sooner, I thought I had done before leaving to work. Well, with this patch in addition to your original one, it works right again with my radeon frame buffer & X :) For me it's fine. Thanks for your help ;-) If I can be of any help, trying further patches or whatever, please ask. --=20 If A equals success, then the formula is _=08A =3D _=08X + _=08Y + _=08Z. = _=08X is work. _=08Y is play. _=08Z is keep your mouth shut. s -- Albert Einstein Javier Marcet --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.9.8 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkDmASgACgkQx/ptJkB7frwV/QCghbyOFJwJzN0PBDofScGdGxkb dlEAn1cPqHE6AzZmojZqgbGi5JdYLgeR =f31P -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --45Z9DzgjV8m4Oswq-- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
