I wrote the text console driver for 24-bit Newport INDY frame buffers, and it is in the SGI/Linux code. I was never able to get around to doing the 8-bit frame buffer card driver though, so if you've got one of those in the INDY you are a out of luck for now. (hinv -v from the firmware prompt will tell you if you have the 24-bit or 8-bit card) ---------------------------------------------//// Yow! 11.26 MB/s remote host TCP bandwidth & //// 199 usec remote TCP latency over 100Mb/s //// ethernet.
