Its in the standard tree as well. The question is does it work in the mips branch? Last time I tried booting without the bios it did not work. Yhlu is right, atyfb_setup_generic is called which in x86 calls the init_from_bios function. Then in aty_init is the biosless initializing is done. > Maybe his mips FW does this, but mine doesn't.

The idea of the patch is not to need FW. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
