Subject: gxfb: Get the frambuffer size from the BIOS
Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 16:42:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <447C67D5.8030308@arcom.com> (raw)
[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 296 bytes --]
This works for me but the board I have can only have 16 MiB available
for the framebuffer so I've not tested any other sizes.

gxfb: Get the frambuffer size from the BIOS
From: Jordan Crouse <jordan.crouse@amd.com>
Use the Geode GX BIOS virtual registers to get the actual size of the
framebuffer.
