Apparently, it works on all machines. I just tested on a B&W G3 rev. 1 and an iMac DV. It works also on the M3 (new r128 mobility in pismo). However, I noticed that in all cases (or almost all cases), we have the same XCLK as MacOS (and probably the same MCLK, I didn't verify), but we obtain it using a lower divider. For example, on the B&W rev. 1, we have 0x1f for the ref. div, and I have 0x38 (instead of 0x3b used by MacOS). I don't know if there's a real impact (less precise pixel clock ?). At least, now it works on all machines, which was not the case previously. My rsync tree contains the same kernel as Paul's latest stable tree with a backport of 2.3.x current aty128fb with your changes (and other pismo powerbook support stuffs). I didn't add Ani Joshi patches yet. I'll post pre-compiled once I feel the pismo stuffs are clean enough (and there's another problem with the latest aty128, sometimes, I've seen some erase problems in console mode. Not very important, but...). I'll then merge my stuffs in 2.2.x and 2.3.x bk trees. ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
