Hello,
attached is a (completely unaccelerated) framebuffer driver for S3 Trio
3D/2X video cards. This is currently for out-of-tree testing, not for
merging (although the license doesn't prohibit merging). Reason: this is
my first kernel driver, and it has been tested only with my video card
so far.
Signed-off-by: Alexander E. Patrakov
What works:
This driver works on my old video card with 2.6.14-rc1-mm1 and 2.6.12.5
kernels. Applications tested: fbcon, jfbterm (has red <-> blue glitch),
mplayer (doesn't like DirectColor modes, "fbset -nonstd 1"), fbxine
(works perfectly), Xorg's "fbdev" driver.
Known bugs:
The "rom" file in sysfs is unreadable
"Snow" in high-resolution modes (but the MS Certified Win98 driver just
gives pixel corruption in the same modes)
YWRAP may or may not work with cards that have 8MB of video memory.
Please send testing reports, including the "it just works" ones. Be sure
to include the kernel version, driver messages and "lspci -n" output.
