Wow, it's been ages.. I eventually stopped caring about this patch because i realized with my skills TV out would be utterly impossible, which was very important for me.. So for now I am STILL using VesaFB and the binary nvidia X driver... The patch I did prepare were a few strategic copy pastes from the X "nv" driver which "works" (without TV out) for Geforce FX... I hardly understand at all what I have done (hardware, just ain't my thing :). You're free to have the patch though.. I'd advise cleaning it up though, there is still some debugging stuff in there... Also, this is actually a common trait for Any rivafb output, the cursor is horribly broken.. I had a hack in the patch to fix this, but this probably not welcome for the official driver... - ods15 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
