I am trying to determine if there are any developers working on adding support for the 965GM chipset. Currently it seems to max out at 865GM. I doubt it's a matter of just recognizing the PCI ID. A gander at xorg sources says that this chipset requires somewhat different programming. I wish I had the expertise to do it myself. If there is a developer that needs some hardware to add support, I can probably work something out with someone in the Bay Area. I'm using vesafb right now, which works, but it's quite a bit slower than using a native chipset fbdev driver (I've used both radeon and matrox before). Especially because it uses software scrolling and doesn't seem to support hardware panning with this chipset. I appreciate any comments. Thanks. -- Scott ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
