Message-ID: <20010124174558.A6608@chefren> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7BIT X-Mailer: Balsa 1.1.0 Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org I saw version 0.9.0 of the nvidia fb driver floating around on the nvidia for linux mailing list some time ago. I tried it and liked it, it was A LOT faster and seemingly bug-free. I decided to wait for it to get integrated into the kernel. Time has gone by, the linux-nvidia archives are down and no-one seems to have submitted this patch, despite the fact that there was some talk about who should do it on the linux-nvidia-list. Has anyone tried to submit this? Otherwise I have it right here, not in patch format, but as a tar file including all files in the riva directory. fbdev.c lists changes by Jindrich Makovicka: accel code help, hw cursor, mtrr support. There was a minor bugfix patch to this one as well, I think it's applied to my version since the version number is 0.9.0jm2, but I can't recall for sure. I don't know if I could make a correct patch, since one filename seems to have changed from nv_local.h to nv4ref.h, and the official kernel version has some changes made after ths version was released (in November I think). I'm putting the file up here in case someone wants to make a patch out of it and submit it to Linus: http://www.helsinki.fi/~rahholmb/rivafb-0.9.0jm2.tar.gz (35Kb) Please cc to me, I'm not on the list.
