Enclosed is the latest version of the patch. I updated more pieces of code here or there so that offb.c can now theorically work in directcolor if the cmap_adr field is present. However, I still disable this feature and uses the ATI kludge only in 8 bits since there is a difference in the way the color registers must be programmed between different models of ATI chips, and this broke for example 16 bits on PowerBook G3 Series (LT-G) It still missing code for getting the default palette set by bootx but this is less urgent. This fix was more important since I would like everyone to be able to boot in "no video driver" mode, at least for the installer. That also means that the installer could be packaged with a kernel containing _only_ offb to save space. Note: Geert, while testing in direct colors, I had a funny problem in 32 bits: everything was fine except the console cursor which had a different color on each virtual console. Since I remember reading about similar bugs in early versions of other fb devices, I guess it's a common mistake. Do you have a clue about what's going on ? It's not very important since we are always in truecolor with this version, but I'm curious ;-) -- E-Mail: BenH. Web :
