答复: ATI rage xl.init

[YhLu]

Ron,

I have enabled the ati rage xl frame buffer in LinuxBIOS, also moved the
btext.c to the LinuxBIOS. So I can get output on CRT in LinuxBIOS after the
ati device init.

I'm going to add one console besides console8250.c and vgaconsole.c.

Please suggest the console name for that:
1. fbconsole.c
2. or btextconsole.c to honor the btext.c author

The btext.c is in the linux/arch/ppc/kernel/btext.c

Regards

YH

Ollie knows better than me but I'm guesssing there are still some 
registers not set right in linuxbios. Note that to date for our nvidia 
stuff we've had to set these registers by hand in a shell script.

VGA is still not quite right, but we're trying to get it.

I first wanted to say how nice it is to see linux boot from linuxbios
with graphical console and have X come up... a beautiful thing!

So now when linux boots, video looks good, but I am unable to use the
mouse + keyboard. I have CONFIG_CONSOLE_SERIAL8250 defined in linuxbios
and I think this may have something to with it (but then again this
could just be a generic linux problem and nothing to do with linuxbios).
Any ideas? Will I need btextconsole.c to fix this?

Im just trying to determine if I need to modify something in linuxbios
resolve this? Otherwise Ill assume this to be a more generic linux
console problem and proceed from there. any input is welcome. thanks...

-Regards, Brian
