Hi all, Maybe some people here on the list know the answer to this question? Does the ATI FireGL cards (in e.g. a C8000) have a STI ROM? I'm asking, because I noticed that with a 64bit kernel the sticon driver (the Linux 8-color text console driver for STI) does crash while it worked nicely with a 32bit kernel. I was able to fix this bug (patch is coming soon), but while I was working on the driver, I found that it doesn't support the ATI FireGL X1/X3 cards (e.g. in my C8000) either. Now, as long as the Linux aty framebuffer drivers don't work reliable, sticon would be at least a nice option for the text console. Nevertheless, on the C8000 I do see the boot screen, e.g. for IPL. So I'm wondering if with the ATI cards in general STI is used for the boot screen or not. I did looked in the ATI cards PCI ROM for a secondary/third ROM, but the things I found didn't looked like a STI-ROM either. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.
