I have been using the tdfx device with various kernels and it has
come up as desired with the kernel parameter
video=tdfx:1280x1024@61. This stoped working with kernel 2.5.66.
Digging through the source code reveals that the driver now responds
to the name tdfxfb. The Documentation/fb/modedb.txt file should be
updated to reflect this change. It reads:
Drivers that support modedb boot options
Boot Name Cards Supported
ami - Amiga chipset frame buffer
aty128fb - ATI Rage128 / Pro frame buffer
atyfb - ATI Mach64 frame buffer
tdfx - 3D Fx frame buffer
It should read:
Drivers that support modedb boot options
Boot Name Cards Supported
amifb - Amiga chipset frame buffer
aty128fb - ATI Rage128 / Pro frame buffer
atyfb - ATI Mach64 frame buffer
tdfxfb - 3D Fx frame buffer
A patch submission by the responsible maintainer will help others
using the tdfx/tdfxfb driver. I believe that the indicated change
for the ami driver is also required.
Thanks,
Dave
