Message-ID: <20020204154626.C28199@reepicheep.ics.uci.edu> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Does anyone know how hard it would be to hack aty128fb to support a second Rage 128? Or am I better off trying to get the X server to talk directly to the second card? I have two PCI Rage 128's in my G4, which I'd like to use in a dual-headed Xinerama set up. So far I've only been able to get the X server (4.1.0 and 4.2.0) to work through framebuffer driven cards (X's ati/r128 drivers with aty128fb and X's fbdev with offb). When I've tried to tell X to talk directly to the unmanaged video card it complains about some unresolved drm symbols (they're different for 4.1 and 4.2, for 4.1 its: "Symbol drmScatterGAtherAlooc from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o"). I've tried with and without drm supporting kernels. Does anyone have any suggestions?
