Hi again! A new graphics driver for Octane is in order. This driver allows writing user-mode gfx applications through register mapping and DMA. I would like to ask anyone with an Octane to help me test this driver. Currently, the only user-mode application taking advantage of this driver is MPlayer, which works quite fine (if a bit slowly as there is no assembly for MIPS - hint, hint!). Especially wanted: * someone with SE/SI card (it is possible that the current driver is for double-RSS people only - MX*, SS* as I use RSS switching at some point - this has to be auto-detected and fixed!) * someone knowledgeable about SCSI (currently the ISP1040 controllers found in Octane bomb in a strange way with HCH's patched SCSI driver; they don't work at all with the QLISP driver). Have fun, Stanislaw Skowronek --<=>-- "You're not as old as the trees, not as young as the leaves. Not as free as the breeze, not as open as the seas."
