+ xorg-x11-6.8.1.901.ebuild:
+ PATCH_VER 0.3.1. This should help out PPC users on Radeon and Rage128.
+
+ (fd.o #2064) Add 5160_all_6.8.1-benh-radeon-ppc-fixes.patch, with tons of
+ changes:
+
+ 1. This patch adds the "VGAAccess" option (defaults to NO on PPC and YES on
+ others) that disables all legacy VGA stuffs in the driver, since they are
+ causing various issues on non-x86 machines.
+
+ 2. This patch makes sure CRTC2_OFFSET_CNTL is cleared. None of the options in
+ this register should be enabled with our current driver, and some firmwares
+ setup a tiled display, which we _must_ disable for now. Without this, the
+ second screen is completely scrambled on some PowerMacs.
+
+ 3. This patch fix the routine that probes for PLL values in absence of a
+ BIOS ROM. The measure is more precise, done several times to avoid
+ "gliches" caused by scheduling latencies, plus the patch fixes actual
+ bugs in the previous iteration of the code. It also add calculation of
+ the mclk and sclk values for proper display bandwidth calculation and
+ adds proper min/max PLL values for r420 type cards.
+
+ 4. The display bandwidth calculation code has a small bug when looking at
+ the memory controller setup on r300 chips. Hui from ATI confirmed that
+ this was the right fix.
+
+ 5. When using MergedFB, the driver would call RADEONInitPLLRegisters for the
+ first head even when UseBiosDividers was set to TRUE, which was incorrect.
+ This patch fixes it by moving the test of UseBiosDividers into
+ RADEONInitPLLRegisters which simplifies the code in the caller and is more
+ logical.
+
+ 6. The dual head setup was recently re-broken (after having been fixed a while
+ ago) with SURFACE_CNTL beeing written with the wrong value from the second
+ head. The problem is that usually, only the first head had a correct value
+ in there, and the driver would regular mixup which register setup was used to
+ restore that value. This patch fixes it once for all by making sure the
+ second head does carry the proper value too.
+
+ 7. The second digital output of the radeon chip doesn't like when the P2PLL
+ is set with an odd post-divider value. This makes sure we never chose
+ a "wrong" value when calculating the P2PLL setting on a non-CRT screen.
+
+ 8. On some cards where no BIOS provided output mapping infos is available, the
+ driver would get the DDC flipped between the two outputs of the card. This
+ typically happen on recent Mac cards. This adds an option to force the
+ driver to reverse what it thinks is the primary display DDC and the
+ secondary display DDC. Ultimately, we'll have to do a better job of
+ recognizing those Mac cards though.
+
+ 9. RadeonValidateFPModes() has a bug where it could try to dereference
+ a NULL pointer in some cases when linking in modes. This fixes it.
+
+ 10. This patch adds an option for probing the PLL value at server init time
+ for LVDS panels and re-using it later (by setting UseBiosDividers). It's
+ useful on machines without an X86 BIOS image providing the proper set of
+ divider values for the LVDS, as the value calculated by
+ RADEONInitPLLRegisters() tend not to be suitable for some LVDS panels.
+ It also changes a bit the way the panel infos are extracted, the previous
+ code didn't quite work for me, and after discussing with Hui, I decided
+ to move the detection earlier in the discovery process and to do it slightly
+ differently.
+
+ (fd.o #2089) Add 5135_all_6.8.1-r128-ppc-vgaaccess.patch. This patch adds the
+ "VGAAccess" option (defaults to NO on PPC and YES on others) that disables
+ all legacy VGA stuffs in the driver, since they are causing various issues on
+ non-x86 machines.
