Andrew, that one seem to work fine for me, been hammered for some time
in the fbdev tree. It should go to -mm for a while imho so we get more
broader testing, and eventually in 2.6.4
Please do.
Hi,

James, would you do part 2 of cursor patch? I convert here
mach64 driver to pci_table solution, it works ok on my notebook. Base is 2.6.3 
+ fix_double_console_init + cursor_part 1, but cursor is broken. On console 
it is invisible, in mc it looks correct.

The difference to todays aty driver in mainline is too big, and it can broke 
old errata rich chip versions, which I'm not own. Should it be submitted as 
aty_new? Just like a radeon driver did it?

Regards Alex

P.S. I have trouble to merge your patches from mailing-list. Have you they 
somewhere in internet? Or send they as attachment ;-)
I plan to submit the latets mach64 driver from BK to linus as soon as the 
first part of the cursor patch goes in. It gives enough of the new 
cursor api to do a dump of all the drivers in the 2.5 fbdev tree. Could you
make your patch against the fbdev-2.5 bk tree? Try my patch

If it doesn't work I will put a new one you there.
