Hi Antonio,
this patch against 2.6.10-rc2 finally detects rivafb on NV30 based power
books by adding the pciid. Wolfram Quester tested it and reported it
working. It also cleans up the error code reported from the probe
function.

Thanks.
I also tested NV32 (GeForce FX 5200 0x0322) which also works. So, I'm
planning to add a lot of NV30 entries to pci_ids.h and the rivafb pci_table
just so we can get a lot of reports (good and bad) from users.

Hmmm...shouldn't we delay this past 2.6.10? People with rivafb compiled
into the kernel but a - until now undetected - card, might get bitten
otherwise.

Why would 2.6.11 be a better time than 2.6.10 for this change? People tend to
expect a few problems whenever they upgrade a kernel.

It's too late anyway for 2.6.10, even if I submit patches to Andrew, he won't
merge to mainline until 2.6.10 comes out.

Yes, we're already in rc2, and usually at this point, patches merged tend to
be bug fixes only.
Anyway, I'm planning to write another driver for nvidia, based on xorg
sources, as nvidiafb. The rivafb uses programmed io, whereas the newer
chipsets uses DMA, and without docs, that's the only way we can support
newer chipsets (use X sources).
So, eventually, rivafb will support only nv20 chipsets and older, whilst
nvidiafb nv10 and newer.

Well we should at least support the NV30 cards that are known to work,
ppc users want this badly since rivafb has backlight control while offb
hasn't.

How come xorg have more information than you? Is their (open source) driver
provided by NVidia?

The driver was originally written by Mark Vojkovich who had access to
the documentation.

Well, Linus asked for "fixes only" IIRC, risking to break things for
some users without good reason doesn't fit in well into this.
