It proably depends also on your own popularity as a kernel hacker ;)

Do it right and put the stuff into aty128fb.c. The various models can be
autodetected via the OpenFirmware "compatible" property.
The attached patch forces the known models into a sane video mode.
It adds also a vmode:22 for the 22" Apple Cinema display, there is
currently no way in the kernel to use that one.
It adds PCI_DEVICE_ID_ATI_RAGE128_TR for the new iMacs.
It adds vmode:21 for that Titanium PowerBook.


(Btw, someone should have at the new aic7xxx, make distclean is broken.)
