The right solution is actually to use FCode for device initialization. ;-) You don't really want another layer of graphics drivers next to fbdev, X11, directfb, ggi/kgi, svgalib, and what they are called (even though non really copes with the layer we are talking about) As soon as I get a working Open Firmware PCI driver done for OpenBIOS, this is the way to go (at least for the few devices with FCode that don't do the Apple fake thingie) Stefan _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
