This is a patch to add sun type6 keyboard support. It comed from the patches debian puts on the 4.3.0 source before building the packages. I think this type of info should be passed to the XFree86 core so that everyone who uses XFree86 can take advantage of this. Warren Turkal --- xc/programs

It's not the DRI per se... it's the radeon memory manager. it attempts to statically allocate offscreen memory for use by the DRI, pixmaps, etc. It has no effect on modes, so you can safely ignore it. Alex --- "Andreakis, Dean (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Alex, > > I went ahead and comm

Ben, Thanks for the information. I used fbset -x and updated XF86Config-4 accordingly. All of the test results from my original post were without using the kernel fbdev driver. I just now went ahead and added Option "UseFBDev" to the lcd-related device section in XF86Config-4 and set BusID to 0:1
