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.
