Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: I don't know if anyone has noticed, but as of 2.2.7 (which is what I just checked), the platinum video driver still has the annoying line about three inches above the bottom of the screen, from the middle to the right edge. This is in modes 19 and 20 at 16bpp, (with the "scale" hack to fix the colormap). The line was there without the scale-hack, so that's not it. I was about to start digging in platinumfb.c to see what the deal is (it's changed quite a bit), and unfortunately the first thing I noticed was that my name was removed from the opening comments(!). Rather uncool. That driver and it's header file are still chock-full of a lot of my code, and even my comments. I spent a good deal of time helping Paul M. get that driver working, and am confused as to why its current maintainer saw fit to expunge my name. Besides which, it looks like a few things were broken when it was "rewritten" for fbconsole-style support, which makes me uneasy, since it originally worked fine, and as expected. I know there's a lot of focus on the G3 machines now, but I'm sure there're still a decent number of us 7200/8200/PT120 users out there who give a damn. I'll look into the current problems which I'm seeing on the list, and I'd welcome anyone's input who's messed with the driver in its current state. Remember, 601 users are people too.
