No. Christian is saying that the programming information is not publicly available so that the driver can bypass using the BIOS. Which is what the Windows drivers do.

Just tell COMPAL that the ModeAttributes field for bit 0 which is called 'Mode supported by hardware configuration' is not being set when asking the Video BIOS for available supported resolutions with the LFP (Local Flat Panel). The Video BIOS call is 0x4F01 with the mode set to 0x34 for 1024x768 at 8bpp, 0x45 for 1024x768 at 16bpp and 0x54 for 1024x768 at 32bpp. Alan. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/devel
