is there any reason this patch isnt in the kernel?
would be nice to have it in the debian packaged kernel
rather than having to rebuild.

Hi,
I tried to force Xfree86 (4.3.0) to use the external video output. I set the
Option "Display" to "Mirror" but the videodriver (r128) told me that it will
ignore this option because the framebuffer knows about the right display
device.
I don't know what to do next. I searched the internet but found only hints and
tutorials for the Radeon cards but non for the Rage128.
First, you need to patch the kernel, this way:
--- prom_init.c.orig 2004-09-07 11:31:26.534522288 +0200
+++ prom_init.c 2004-09-07 11:32:20.460324320 +0200
@@ -401,7 +401,7 @@
break;
}
- for (j=0; j<prom_num_displays; j++) {
+ for (j=0; j<1; j++) {
path = prom_display_paths[j];
prom_print("opening display ");
prom_print(path);
prom_init.c lies in the arch/ppc/kernel directory for a 2.4 kernel, in
the arch/ppc/syslib directory for a 2.6 kernel. IIRC there is a
comment before the for() loop in the 2.4 kernel.
After that, and a reboot, m3mirror will work just fine.
You might need Option UseFBDev and Option sw_cursor true in
XFConfig-4.
