thanks to shed light on this. However, I'm afraid of don't understood clearly: so (if I get it) we can apply the same thought to the file /include/video/mach64.h ? I think it has a issue similar to cfi.h; in fact the licence said: /* * ATI Mach64 Register Definitions * * Copyright (C) 1997 Michael AK Tesch * written with much help from Jon Howell * * Updated for 3D RAGE PRO and 3D RAGE Mobility by Geert Uytterhoeven * * This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or * modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License * as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version * 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. */ but it has this notice: /* * most of the rest of this file comes from ATI sample code */ but, after some research http://bugs.gnewsense.org/Bugs/00212 i've found that (in my opinion, i hope i'm wrong) the codes taken from ATI website cannot be considered free. thanks in advance -- ------------------------------- SIP address: [email protected] GPG key ID: 0x79631020 ------------------------------- --
