Hi Dmitri,
I'm going to wish you luck here. I should point you to this thread between "Kumba" and myself over on the Gentoo Mips list from days long past.
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/gentoo/mips/58437
In short, someone did get basic functionality, but wouldn't release his work for anyone to see. I tried nicely to contact the guy a few times myself. No dice.
Regards,

Hi,
I am looking for Extreme graphics technical documentation. Indigo2
PROM reports the graphics board as follows:
controller display SGI-GU1-Extreme key 0 ( ConsoleOut Output )
p: video(0)
peripheral monitor key 0
p: video(0)monitor(0)
So far I have been able to find (apart from a handful of marketing
documents) only the following two sources:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extreme_Graphics
http://www.futuretech.blinkenlights.nl/i2sec5.html#5.6
These, however, do not seem to be enough to write a console driver.
Can anyone help, please?
Thanks,
Dmitri
