(/me finally gets back from holiday)
Cool! I did once do a hack to e15 working on 2.4 but never completed it.
The real reason I never did much more work on the driver is I got
depressed trying to figure out how to get the DAC into pixel multiplex
mode so I that I have some chance of getting rid of the snow when
pushing the clock towards 60MHz. It got to the point where I wasn't
convinced that xfree86 could have actually worked on the 864/SDAC
combination since I'm sure my code did everything they did. Working
without proper documentation kind of sux. Oh and that the real world
intruded and ate my hacking time.
I think the caro-min patch has almost completely made it into the
bitkeeper trees now. Not sure how much of that has or hasn't leaked into
the linus/marcello trees yet. (many thanks to hollis and others for
pushing/accepting my hacks).
Cheers,
David

Hi
while playing with my IBM box, I finally reached this goal:
Distributon : Debian for PPC 3.0
Kernel : 2.4.18
+ caro-min-2.4-bk011111.diff.gz
+ ibm_e15fb.diff.gz ( w/ little editing )
from http://www.amberdata.demon.co.uk/carolina/
Yes ! I'm running a 1024x748 8bit display on the native E15 adapter.
Don't know if this is a true goal or I'm just reinventing the wheel,
but it looks like it hasn't been done yet.

Happy Hacking :P
