Hi Dmitri,

I'm going to wish you luck here.  I should point you to this thread between "Kumba" and myself over on the Gentoo Mips list from days long past.

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/mips/58437

In short, someone did get basic functionality, but wouldn't release his work for anyone to see.  I tried nicely to contact the guy a few times myself.  No dice.

Regards,

-S-

Hi,

I am looking for Extreme graphics technical documentation. Indigo2
PROM reports the graphics board as follows:

controller display SGI-GU1-Extreme key 0 ( ConsoleOut Output )
p: video(0)
  peripheral monitor key 0
  p: video(0)monitor(0)

So far I have been able to find (apart from a handful of marketing
documents) only the following two sources:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_Graphics
http://www.futuretech.blinkenlights.nl/i2sec5.html#5.6

These, however, do not seem to be enough to write a console driver.

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks,
Dmitri
