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...
