[PATCH] nvidiafb: Geforce 7800 GTX support added

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 




Hi, this is an almost trivial patch that simply adds support for the Nvidia Geforce 7800 GTX card to the nvidiafb framebuffer driver. All this patch does is add the PCI device id for this device into the module device table for this driver, so that nvidiafb.ko will actually work on this card.

I also added the PCI device id to linux/pci_ids.h (I hope noone minds).

I tested it on my 7800 GTX here and it works like a charm. I now can get framebuffer support on this card! Woo hoo!! Nothing like 200x75 text mode to make your eyes BLEED. ;)

This patch is against 2.6.14-rc5. It should apply against most 2.6 kernels though -- not sure which kernel is the standard one to submit patches against.

Should I submit this patch for 2.4 kernel? I don't even know if that one has nvidiafb since I don't run 2.4 much these days..

Thanks!
