[Xpert]Geode questions...
Hello! I am having problems with a National Semi Geode based system and would need some help / advice in regards to display issues: I am trying to convert a Geode based embedded web browsing device to Linux. There are two points of funkyness: 1. The CRT display will only allow 1024x768 @ 72Hz to be displayed (meaning I can't see anything unless I have X running at that res/freq) and 2. the display is rotated by 90 degrees CCW. The dilemma is that I can configure X 3.3.6 using the SVGA server and I actually see something but I can't rotate the screen. If I use X 4.x.x I could rotate the screen but somehow none of the drivers work for the Geode. I have gone through the archives and found several postings in regards to the Geode but none offered a solution for my particular setup. I guess there are several possibilities that would help me move forward: - Somebody has modified the X 4.x.x Cyrix MediaGX driver to work with the Geode and is willing to share that driver ;-)... that would be way optimal... - Somebody has modified the X 3.3.6 SVGA driver to rotate the display and is willing to share that driver ;-)... that would also be way optimal... - Somebody could give me some pointers on how to modify the X 3.3.6 SVGA driver to rotate the display and I'd give it a shot even though I have never played around with the guts of X ;-) - Somebody could give me some pointers on how to modify the X 4.x.x Cyrix driver to support the Geode and I'd give it a shot even though I still have never played around with the guts of X ;-) Thanks a lot in advance for any type of feedback... and sorry for the lengthy message!

Hi Alex! I followed this thread on the Xpert mailing list and I also have Geode based device that I would like to get up and running with X. My problem is that in order to do that I need to be able to do 1024x768 @ 72Hz with 90 degrees of rotation. Could the X 4 driver you have do that?? And if so could send me the driver as well or give me a URL from where I could access it?? Thanks a whole lot in advance, Patrick >After going back and forth with National, it turns out that the NDA does not >apply to their source code, which is dual-licensed BSD/GPL.
