Masking pointers to 32 bits. Is this driver supposed to be run on 64-bit machines?Never can it be run on anything else but 32 bit machines because this graphics core is integrated in the VIA VT8601A northbridge. So the cpu is either a VIA C3, a VIA Eden, a Pentium III or a Celeron. It is planned to add support for closely related graphics cores, but also those can be run with nothing but 32 bit cpus, starting from the first pentium. Even if this driver would be compiled into a 64 bit kernel, the imageblit function never would be executed as the init code never will find the cyberblade/i1 graphics core in such a system.Until VIA adds 64-bit support to it's C3 line...

They still don't have the C7 out. And they've become pretty silent ever since their big but empty press release about 64-bit in oktober of 2004. If 64bit every really happens for VIA, then it won't be tied to the PLE133 or a trident descendant. I'd be more worried about this getting ported to the XGI V3, but afaik XGI is not as nice a player as it originally made out to be.
