[Openchrome-users] Support for S3 Graphics DeltaChrome, GammaChrome and ChromeS20 generation

[Stefan Bassing]

Hello!

Thanks for your reply. I was just making those lspci outputs. The vendor
and device IDs you have discovered are correct. Nonetheless, S3 Graphics
is the developer of the graphic cores of the IGPs from VIA and K8M890 is
just the integrated version of DeltaChrome S8 oder GammaChrome S18
(which is in fact identical to ChromeS27). So in my somehow simple
thoughts, it could work if the openchrome driver is somehow (I think you
know a lot more about this than me) modified that it accepts the vendor
and device IDs for the K8M890 part of the driver. As I said before, I'm
really no expert in programming, especially with Linux, but could it be
possible to make some experimental versions of that specific driver
parts for testing?

Docs from S3 Graphics are as non-existant as from VIA. Same policy... If
it would help you or another developer, I would send you my DeltaChrome
S8 card for devloping a working 2D driver!

Anyway here the outputs from lspci -vn (made with Knoppix 5.1):

Perhaps you could do something with this...

Please let me know if I could help in any way!

P.S.: Sorry for sending this first directly! I was a bit confused with 
the handling of the mailing list.
