On http://www.medex.hu/~danthe/tdfx/ I found a newer version of the tdfxfb driver. It was a patch against linux 2.4.4 . I don't know why it never went into the kernel. Maybe Linus was too busy at that time? The current kernel still contains version 0.1.3 which is rather old. Much work has been done until version 0.2.2, mainly support for: * non-8 dot wide fonts * multihead * full 8/16/24/32 bit color (fixes the ugly bootup penguin) * MIPS * module options I think it's worth to give it a chance and to continue development on the base of that code. So I "ported" it to kernel 2.4.2x. Get this new patch here: http://tu-ilmenau.de/~johe-ii/3dfx-0.2.2-2.4.21-pre1.diff.gz I just merged the improvements that happened to v0.1.3 while it was in the kernel and did some source formating. Be encouraged to test it, do further improvements and please take it into the kernel!
