Bug#311815: powerpc matroxfb?

2006-01-11 Thread Petr Vandrovec
Are there some details available about hardware in question?  For some time 
matroxfb drives accelerator in little endian mode.  Unfortunately there is no 
screenshot nor dmesg log, nor used font size, so I can only guess what problem is.


To track problem further I need to know what happens with 2.6.12 or newer kernel 
- some bigendian fixes for accelerated characters drawing went into 2.6.12, so 
it is quite possible that problem is already fixed.

Hi petr, ...

Thanks you for following this, i was going to contact you this WE, but i guess
we could as well just start on this right now.

Roberto, could you try to get more info to Petr concerning this problem, and
try 2.6.15 too ? 

Petr, notice that this box is a Power4 box, so on top of it being bigendian,
it is also a 64bit cpu, which may mean other worries.

 To track problem further I need to know what happens with 2.6.12 or newer 
 kernel - some bigendian fixes for accelerated characters drawing went into 
 2.6.12, so it is quite possible that problem is already fixed.

Ah, good, Roberto, more reason for you to test this.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
