Subject: [PATCH] don't activate unsupported GSC STI cards on HPPA
Date: Mon, 16 Jun 2008 22:50:28 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200806162250.28773.deller@gmx.de> (raw)
On HPPA there exists some older GSC graphics cards, which
need special graphic-card-BIOS patching to become supported.
Since we don't have yet implemented the patching, it's better
to detect such cards in advance, inform to the user that there
are known problems and to not activate the card.
Problematic GSC cards and BIOS versions are:
* Hyperdrive/Hyperbowl (A4071A) graphics card series:
* ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/8)
* ID = 0x2BCB015A (Version 8.04/11)
* Thunder 1 VISUALIZE 48 card:
* ID = 0x2F23E5FC (Version 8.05/9)
* Thunder 2 VISUALIZE 48 XP card:
* ID = 0x2F8D570E (Version 8.05/12)
* Some Hyperion and ThunderHawk GSC cards
Further details are described here:
