Hi Manish,
Thanks for ur response. Hope that u are not a newbie to Linux. Do u want to
work in a project to make the X-server compatible with MX86200 ? If u are
please make me know. If we can modify the code of XF86_SVGA for generic
chipset, to work in 640x480 resolution, most of our poblems will be solved.
For this, we need the data-sheet for MX86200.
