This patch provides the ability to work with LCDs, bug fixes to cleanup code, Mac support, and support for more nvidia cards. The Mac code was added from a patch Ani Joshi sent me.
Hi Paul,
First of all, thanks for this patch! I came accross it while searching the archives last night. I am using a GeForce4 MX440 and have applied your patch, now rivafb successfully detects my card.
I am trying to use rivefb with my TV as the (only) display. I have tried an 800x600 mode @ 60 Hz which from what I read is optimal for TV's, also this is the mode I use when using X to display on my TV. With rivafb in this mode (similar results for other modes) my display is totally garbled with rectangles of colours going everywhere.
My question is does something need to change with regard to rivafb to play nice with a television as the display or do I just need to keep searching for a better modeline? I will be testing the patched rivafb this evening with a regular monitor to make sure that works as well.
Once again, thanks! If anyone else on this list has any input that also would be appreciated.
