| |
The nVidia 3D source release spurred me to hack together a kernel driver for Riva 128/TNT/TNT2 cards... but I won't actually have a Riva card until payday, in another few weeks. ;-)
Since I am turning back to the S3 driver, I am posting what I have, in the hopes that kernel hackers and Riva owners can give me a little feedback. It compiles, and the logic is 90% in place, but don't consider it even close to working.
The driver is available as a patch against 2.3.3:
http://havoc.gtf.org/garzik/kernel/files/UNTESTED/2.3.3-rivafb.patch.gz
Patch notes:
* riva_decode_var needs to be implemented, smartly. This is the only missing piece for what is needed to actually have a working driver.
* includes some patches to fbgen that I hope to eventually send to Geert
* other than that, read the FIXMEs...
