PATCH: Extra brightness off with the XClaim 3D Plus

PATCH: Extra brightness off with the XClaim 3D Plus

[Rick Meier]

On the XClaim 3D plus the extra brightness needs to be turned off or the
card overdrives the monitor.  Here is a patch to the kernel if anyone
wants to try it.

Thanks Rick, this works as advertised. The XClaim 3D Plus in my B+W G3 400
now works properly. Well, except for the mild snow down the left side of
the display, but that is a different problem...

Does the B+W G3 400 really has a RAGE LT PRO? I thought that chip was meant for
laptops.

In order to use atyfb, I removed the OEM ATI RAGE 128 PCI card from a B+W
G3 400 and installed an ATI XClaim 3D Plus PCI card, which does in fact
use the RAGE LT PRO chip.

However, I see Anthony Tong has released a atyfb patch with RAGE 128
support (Thanks Anthony!), so I think I will be putting the OEM card
back in very soon now.
:-)
