Hello dear list!
With 2.5.54 there is something like success with my hardware.
Now I get a cursor at the right position. I can't see what I type,
but I see the cursor moving correctly.
After unloading atyfb the console still behaves this way, nothing
changes.
Are there some options I should set ? I am currently just loading
atyfb (with recognizes my card as PCI although it's AGP; seen in dmesg).
Greetings,
Nico

Can do post your dmesg.

Atyfb is known not to work on some Rage Mobility P/M (incl. the one in my Vaio
:-(

A have a few patchs for atyfb that I haven't got around to applying just
yet. One is Popov non BIOS patch for some cards. I have another patch for
a new DAC for older MACH 64 cards. The big issue I like to see solved is
to us ethe hardware cursor. Right now I have it disabled, its using
soft_cursor. I haven't had the time to look at teh specs for how the data
is layed out for the cursor image. We have in atyfb.h
struct aty_cursor {
u8 bits[8][64];
u8 mask[8][64];
u8 *ram;
}
This is really weird. I like to translate to the new api.

Each pixel in the Mach64 cursor has 4 possible values: transparent, inverting,
color0, or color1. It's size is 64x64, i.e. 64 rows of 8 bits per plane.

!dmesg
atyfb: 3D RAGE Mobility (PCI) [0x4c4d rev 0x64] 8M SDRAM, 29.498928 MHz XTAL, 230 MHz PLL, 50 Mhz MCLK
fb0: ATY Mach64 frame buffer device on PCI
Just tell me, if you need more information.
