Re: [RFC][PATCH][FBDEV]: Setting fbcon's windows size

flat view

Here's an improved GTF implementation.  I was a bit delayed because I
was trying to find a way to do square roots without using floating
point.  The diff is against linux-2.5.54 + your latest fbdev.diff.
Applied. 
but is more or less usable.  Tested with i810fb and rivafb. (For rivafb,
I have to use a hacked version. The latest one does not work for the
riva128).
What hack did you do? That is based on the latest riva driver from 2.4.2X.
 
BTW, I downloaded the source code of read-edid, and it seems that the
following monitor limits are parsable from the EDID block: HorizSync,
VertRefresh, DotClock, and GTF capability. We may change info->monspecs
to match that. Also, the EDID contains a list of supported modes, but
there's only 4 of them(?).  
I figured monspec would have to be improved. I'm looking into the EDID 
info right now. I'm also looking at read-edid. Next I need to figure out 
how to use i2c to get this info.
