Seufert" , David Ray , Paul Mackerras From: Benjamin Herrenschmidt Subject: Re: Test kernels for chipsfb (2400/3400) Message-Id: <19981223100026.009089@mail.mipsys.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I got a first round of feedback and I uploaded 2 new test kernels: (the first one uses truecolor for chipsfb, the second directcolor). offb is "fixed" to disable the ATI kuldge when not in 8 bits (apparently breaks some models like PowerBook G3 Series) so "No video driver" should work all the time again. Note that those kernel will do funny things with your ADB like auto-setting handler IDs of mice to 2 or 4 (depending on what the mouse supports) and detecting the powerbook trackball. All this is quite verbose (lots of printks) and I would like to know if it breaks something. The result of those changes should be that now, mice should use better capabilities by default and mousemode should not be necessary most of the time. Note also that the trackpad tapping is partially implemented (you will be able to click by tapping but sometimes it behaves strangely). I'll post cleaned up patches for all this later today or later this week. -- E-Mail: BenH. Web : [[ This message was sent via the linuxppc-dev mailing list.
