hey tony,

your patch against drivers/video/riva/fbdev.c chokes on hunk 2 when
applied to 2.6.7-rc3-mm2.  resend, and i'll test it on my TNT2 :)

Ok.  Patch against 2.6.7-rc3-mm2.

Applying your rivafb and fbmode patches work great on my TNT2.
I get a console with 160 columns and 60 rows :-)

That's great.

And yes, the capabilities patch makes your driver slow.
But setting the proper flags makes it fast again ;-)

Do you mind submitting a patch yourself?  It's probably a 1 liner patch, unless
we also modify rivafb to use cfb_* drawing functions depending on
the setting of var->accel_flags.

The driver still doesn't play nice with the evil binary nvidia drivers,
but then, that's expected.  (It'd be nice if changing from X to a console
didn't *crash my machine* though.)

Yeah, even with XOrg/Free86 nv driver, it hangs.  Don't really know the exact
solution, probably a complete re-initialization of the hardware when switching from
X.  But this will require that fbcon recognizes a switch from X itself which it
currently doesn't (unless I'm mistaken).

Tony
