I'm not ultra familiar with the i810/i830 video driver code, however the patch included in the above email seems like it might fix things on i830 but possibly break i810. Perhaps a better fix would be to read the values from an i830RegRec, which would need to be filled in elsewhere first? I see that declared in the headers but not really used much anywhere. Perhaps the driver is incomplete. I'd at least test this patch on various i810/i830 video hardware prior to committing it. Also, the INREG(0x60000) should be INREG(HTOTAL_A) to be a bit more readable. Hope this helps. -- Mike A. Harris Shipping/mailing address: OS Systems Engineer 190 Pittsburgh Ave., Sault Ste.
