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.

looks good, but does not compile
