As I told a while ago, I'm forking radeonfb for now, at least until Ani (current maintainer) either give me maintainership or gets all that stuff in the official version. I need testers, and I'd appreciate any patches people may have for it as well since I know a bunch of ppl have been spreading various radeonfb patches around, I want to take over all of these and see what is worth getting in. For 2.5, I'm working on a complete rewrite (& split) of the driver. So far, I already have something to play with that fixes a bunch of issues. Patches against 2.4.20 and 2.4.21-pre7 can be found here: (too big to inline). Note that I also bring in various other pci_ids.h updates but that shouldn't harm you and is easier that way for me ;) http://penguinppc.org/~benh/radeonfb-040603-2.4.20.diff http://penguinppc.org/~benh/radeonfb-040603-2.4.21-pre7.diff NOTE: It's known that radeonfb is incompatible with ATI binary GL drivers (at least it crashes the machine on a friend's r300), I'm investigating. Ben.
