The second 8 MiB is the big endian aperture. Ah my fbdev ignorance shows. I messed with this lots this weekend and I'm pretty sure its a bios thing and not the driver. In other news I gust got word today from ATI that I can release my code under GPL. Woohoo! I'm about to start porting over some dos code I have that is supposed to do a biosless init of the M1 for inclusion into LinuxBIOS. I'll also try and add the same thing into atyfb when I have it all working. Thanks for all your help. -- Richard A.
