Voodoo 3 and lower is fixed in the next kernel-image i will upload voodoo 4 & 5 seem to be still broken though. I have seen patches circulating on the fbdev mailing list though. This is 2.4 though, 2.6 has a totally redesigned fbdve layer and new drivers. I think radeonfb does not work yet with them, without patching at least. Have not tried though. Friendly, Sven Luther
