Hi Benjamin,
nice to see, that you are still arround.
If you remember, we allready stand in contact in 2009 and you are so kind to produce your beta4 for the mediator4000di on request.
Our OpenPCI-Radeon driver is in a working beta stage.
It works on the mediator and the prometheus (co-op with « mastatabs » tobias seiler).
G-Rex and PowerPCI/Amithlon are not tested at the moment.
On beta4 you removed the DMA-detection … thats a good solution, because the radeon-driver should support a lot of different memorysetups and chiptypes.
Radeon 7xxx-9xxx / 16 – 256 MB.
It could be nice if you add a api for « giving » dma-memory from the openpci-gfx-driver (here radeon-openpci) to openpci.
The radeon-driver has much code for correct memory-detection for all important radeon-cards and best should be to take 256kb from end of this calculated memory and transfer the result to your library as dma-memory.
How does dma work on other bridges with beta4, can i add dma-memory on the same way?
Or can i make some « allocdma »-mem check?
result = 0 -> adddma mem from radeon
result <> 0 -> dmamem added by pci-system and bypass radeon adddma mem
With the first « real » openpci gfx-driver and a little modified beta4 openpci.lib, i would advice to bump the version to 2.2 (3.0) …
Btw. can i have a a backup of your homepage.
If you like, we can host it on a1k.org.

Andre
