Hello from Gregg C Levine It happens that I can use the frame buffer functions on my ATI Rage 128 without much of a hassle. In fact that's the native mode of the video card. (And this is on a native BIOS, not the subject of the group.)
Without breaking your NDA, could you enlighten the group regarding how you are going about the enabling of this ATI card? And where did you find the details for the frame buffer modes for this ATI video card? Were they provided that way? If so, then I don't need to know. ------------------- Gregg C Levine hansolofalcon@worldnet.att.net ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."

Stefan,
I move the kernel patch that init rage xl for fb into LinuxBIOS.
You can
disable the patch in Kernel and still can use rage xl for fb.
Cool. I have been meaning to try that for a long time I just have not been able to find the time.
Unless we see some serious problems this looks like a good model for how to handle onboard graphics chips.
