Hi all,
The following patchlet allows the Permedia2 framebuffer to work
properly on power-pc (instead of crashing the machine...).
This has been tested with a PCI Formac Promedia3D (aka formacGA8) on a
PowerMac 7500 (with a G3 card, if that matters...).
Patch is against 2.4.16, but should apply to any recent 2.[45] kernel.
M.
