Author: Jordan Crouse [off-list ref] Date: Mon May 15 20:54:51 2006 -0600 FB: Get the Geode GX frambuffer size from the BIOS Use the Geode GX BIOS virtual registers to get the actual size of the framebuffer. Signed-off-by: Jordan Crouse [off-list ref]The patch works. The frame buffer size now matches what is really there (4 MB). Out of curiosity, where are the magic registers (0xAC1C, 0xAC1E) documented? I searched "AMD Geode GX Processors Data Book", but had no luck... Also, I notice that the pci_resource_len() shows 16 MB, even though the resource should only cover 4 MB. I assume this is a BIOS bug... =) Is there anything I can do to help get this pushed into the 2.6.19 kernel?
Jordan can you repost the patch and CC andrew morton with it so the patch will be in the -mm tree. Thank you. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
