The EDID code will allow the driver to ignore the BIOS copy in low RAM and use
the ROM instead. Ben, could you make sure that the code to enable/access the
ROM works on your Macs since I don't own one? Did you finish merging what was
left of the Rage/Radeon PCI IDs from my patch?

EDID plus ROM will solve both problems: multiple adpaters and Mac portables
needing EDID.

Ok, I've a working implementation of the I2C code for radeonfb :)
The bug was very stupid: 0x50 became 0x20 and I spent a couple of weeks
wondering why it didn't work...

I've tested the code on a R300 board but it should work on any radeon. I
need a couple of day to merge  it into radeonfb and to test. I'll send a
patch ASAP.

Hi !

It would be real cool if you could start from the radeonfb version
that is at bk://ppc.bkbits.net/linuxppc-2.5-benh (It needs my previously
posted Power Management patch to fbdev to build, but you can just
comment out 2 lines to make it build & run without it).

I'm currently having maintainership of this driver and I'll have an
update sent to James rsn based on that tree, so that would simplify
the merging significantly.

Ben.
