Hallo More than 15 years have passed since the first working module for a zoran chipset based PCI card existed. Well not included into the Linux kernel at that time. According to my experience, the driver started to make problems when 64 Bit and more than 2GB Ram became popular. In May 2011 there was a patch available that made the cards working in machines with more than 2GB Ram, and AMD&Intel x64 architectures. According to my information that patch did not make it into the linux kernel (the Patch was for the Linux 2.6.38 Kernel)
As far as I know it works fine on machines with a lot of memory, at least the last time I tested it it was OK (with a 3.<something> kernel).
So people spend time looking at code that does not work (well it compiles and does not cause troubles), and send patches the world will never honor.
I'll honor them. I still have zoran hardware and it is on my todo list of drivers to update to the latest frameworks.
I haven't had a question related to a zoran based card's in years. So I'm quite sure there are not much users out there that use a zoran based video cards in a up to date environment. Because of that I would really suggest that somebody removes the whole zoran driver from the linux kernel.
It's not blocking new development, so there is no need to remove it. Besides, I have zoran hardware, so even if it is blocking new developments I should be able to fix it. Regards, Hans
