using a PCI S3 Trio64 in a pmac 9600



Hi,

I still have a PCI S3 Trio64 card I would like to put to a use in my
pmac 9600. My long-distance goal is having a multi-head setup with
xinerama, the other card being the imstt 128 (see my other post a
couple of minutes ago).

The first problem I encounter is when compiling a kernel with S3
support make complains:

drivers/video/video.o(.text.init+0x24ac): In function `s3trio_init':
: undefined reference to `pci_device_loc'
drivers/video/video.o(.text.init+0x24ac): In function `s3trio_init':
: relocation truncated to fit: R_PPC_REL24 pci_device_loc
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

This is using the current benh source tree.

Now I don't have a clue about card drivers, and I have no idea if this
idea could work at all. Has anybody gotten a "non-mac" PCI graphic
card to work in a ppc machine? If not, I would be curious what's the
showstopper.
If this could work, has someone gotten a idea why the compile fails?
I would prefere not debugging this driver myself at the moment because
I want to focus on the imstt driver :)
So if someone happens to have an idea and wants to share...

Thanks,
Vinai
