Sorry, I must have DMA on the brain, I messed this up before as well. I meant MMAP (caching). The MMAP patch and the video memory detection changes make the controlfb driver MUCH more useful. The speed increase is very noticable and the memory detection change allows use of 32 bit depth at 1024x768 Bob -- Robert E.
