Re: S3 driver bug

Hello Thomas,
I have found a module that would enable the use of
certain older hardware with Linux (Mandrake 9.1 for
PowerPC platforms). On the webpage below, what
constitutes the actual code (and is it usable or do I
need a different format such as RPM or .gz) and how to
install it?
Here is the link:
<http://www.rossfell.co.uk/mirrors/Kernel/v.2.1/
patch-html/2.1.51 linux/drivers/macintosh/pmac-cons.c
and also pmac-cons.h>  These two drivers(?) are part
of the package known as "patch-2.1.51".  
Viele Danken!
