Some fixes for tdfxfb on big-endian systems

2002-12-14 Thread Derrik Pates
I'm attaching a patch which does fix some of the problems with 3Dfx video boards on big endian systems (like PowerPC). First, it introduces setting bit 20 (Host byte word swizzle, from the Voodoo3 register docs) in the srcFormat register setting, for the do_putc() and do_putcs() accelerated text

Daniel, I was wondering what you made of this. I noticed that the libasound2_0.9.0rc6-1_powerpc.deb package had a libasound.so.2.0.0 which caused alsactl to fail with the error... ./alsactl: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib/libasound.so.2: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0ff92ff0
