Subject: [PATCH] r128 DRM module -- hardware bug
Date: Thu, 01 Mar 2001 00:05:35 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <3A9CF79F.38751994@valinux.com> (raw)

The following patch addresses a serious problem with older Rage 128
chipsets, up to and including at least the Rage 128 RF chipset found on
the Xpert 2000.  The workaround should be classed as a critical fix, as
without it such cards will lock almost immediately.
