I'd like to thank Andrew, Drew and Thomas for their efforts.

And I'm working on the above in that order. I hope to have sane colours
within a few days. I also have some patches to Andrew's code as follows:
1) Fix files.alpha for TGA without VGA
2) `generic' -STABLE to -CURRENT patches avoiding bus abstraction issues.
3) Horrible hack to make TGA work on a -CURRENT LCA machine
This patch basically re-creates pci_cfg{read,write}() and
pci_cvt_to_dense() which were removed last year. It additionally
requires the removal of the `static' on lca_pcib_write_config()
as well as adding a prototype for it in <alpha/pci/lcareg.h>
4) General type and code cleanups (part 1)
- use tga_reg_t ISO u_int32_t for accessing/copying TGA registers
- avoid signed characters
- Remove unused variables
5) General type and code cleanups (part 2)
- Conversion of magic numbers to macros. This step is not
complete - the patch covers the GDER, GMOR, VHCR and VVCR
registers.
See my e-mail of a couple of days ago for background on points 2 and 3.
The remainder of the patches will work on -stable or -current. Patch 3
is very much a `quick-and-dirty' hack - I'm not sure what the correct
fix is and didn't want to waste too much effort.
Peter
