Is there any reason why the GPL framebuffer driver for the GX/GX1/LX directly from AMD is not integrated into the kernel and only a custom driver for only the GX/GX1 written by Arcom exists? (drivers/video/geode/*)
If you have an LX, the Arcom driver won't work and it is difficult to use AMD's patch for 2.6.11 with a more recent kernel because the drivers/video/geode directory has filename conflicts with files in the patch. If there are no issues preventing its inclusion, would updated patches be accepted to switch to AMD's framebuffer driver? The AMD patches would need to be combined to support all three platforms in the driver dir, all sitting on top of the Cimarron HAL installed in lib/cimarron. The entire AMD LX patch for 2.6.11 is here: http://www.amd.com/files/connectivitysolutions/geode/geode_lx/Patches_Linux2.6.11_Common_02.03.0100.patch The relevant parts are: drivers/video/geode/* lib/cimarron/* Thanks, -Andrew - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
