Is atyfb in 2.4 known to work with recent Mach64 chips like Rage XL?
When I install the driver it detects the chip but results in just a
black screen. I also noticed that it detects WRAM, whereas I am certain
it should be SGRAM. The XFree86 driver detects everything ok and just
works.
Well, I don't know if Geert still have much time to maintain
this driver, any help implementing the missing features would
be nice ;)
I have also noticed that the radeonfb driver lacks support for
initialising the card if the BIOS hasn't already done it. I have
recently changed from a matrox setup where the matroxfb driver would
initialise any matrox cards found irrespective of whether the BIOS
decided to do it unless it was told not to. Is there any chance that
this functionality is going to be added to the radeonfb driver? In
2.5/6 perhaps?
If you can get ATI to provide POST code for every single ASIC
rev. out there, that may be a good start.
