For the valkyriefb driver on my Pmac 6400, I can confirm from a first short test that it still works. This is with your patch applied to today's 2.4.17-pre1-ben0 kernel. I am not testing it very extensively, because this kernel crashes on me as soon as pppd is started. Yesterday's 2.4.16-ben0 crashed when running ping. Even on my iBook, the 2.4.16 gave me an "illegal lseek" when trying to run ping (the 2.4.17-pre1 seems to work OK on the iBook). Since the 6400 is serving as an adsl router, I prefer to go back to the stable 2.4.0-pmac kernel from last January. -- Martin ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
