Indigo2 GUI1-Extreme Documentation

Indigo2 GUI1-Extreme Documentation

[Matthew H. Ray]

I've installed Debian on my Indigo2 and I'm interested
in hacking on the video card in my system (a
GUI1-Extreme with the HQ 2.1 chipset).  I've searched
around quite a bit and have found little if any
documentation.  Can anyone direct me to any
documentation I might have missed, or is there simply
none to be found whatsoever?  Is there any chance of
the mailing list archive being resurrected?  Nothing
but broken links from the linux-mips.org webpage.

Thanks,
Matthew H. Ray

If there were any docs abvailable, there would be driver already :)
Your only chance to get info is bash it out of SGI... If that info still
exists there... Extreme is what, 10 years old? Something like that... If
someone could enlighten me on history here :)

linux-mips.org moved to it's own machine.  We do keep archives on the
machine but atm they're not accessible as HTML.

How would these be accessible then?  I was told that there are no specs
for the Extreme card anywhere.  If we have something on this archived
somewhere, I'd love to take a peek.

Thanks.

I was thinking about setting up a nice web archive but for the moment I've
just put the mbox list archives as they're kept by majordomo into
ftp.linux-mips.org:/pub/linux/mips/archives/linux-mips.org/.

But don't waste your time digging for non-XL graphics documentation in
the archive.  There's none.
