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!
