Yep. It probably doesn't happen on x86, since the int10 stuff initializes the card with the onboard bios. Using a x86 emulator in X to run this bios might be a solution. > > What kernel are you using, maybe it would be best to work on a 2.6 > > kernel and try to adapt the pm2fb to the new framework or something. > > Currently using Herbert's 2.4.24-1.

In the border between the two are some flickering Ho. definitively some registers who are bad. It has been a long time since i have looked at the pm2 specs (kind of 98ish i think) though. Maybe you could get hand of the free TI-pm2 specs and look for yourself ? You would dump all the possible registers, and see which one is different. Enabling debugging in the glint driver would also do. You can safely run no-accel on these for the tests, as this is definitively not an accel issue, but a video out/ramdac one. > white lines.
