Created attachment 55573 [details] Modify against new feature for PC-9821 This is not bug but modification of apm driver to new feature for NEC PC-9821. New version of apm driver at 2012-01-13 getting by git, % git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-apm were not yet made following modifications. #if GET_ABI_MAJOR(ABI_VIDEODRV_VERSION) < 12 if (!xf86IsPc98()) { #endif This patch makes this modifications, but I cannot test it since I have no card of apm.
Patches submitted to xorg-devel mailing list as described on http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Documentation/SubmittingPatches are generally applied faster, but when it's for drivers no one has the hardware for and no one uses, that probably doesn't help.
Thank you for your kindly advice. This patch is against the management of version and makes no modification about the function of driver. Of course, I also think it is not good situation, as you pointed out, that there are no hardware and no user. Now I'm seeking used apm card and user of it on PC-98. Next opportunity, at least after examining not only this patch but also apm driver itself, I will try to send patch to mailing list.
New version of apm driver at 2012-05-15 getting by git, was already modified equivalent to above patch. So, please close this "Bug 44779". Thank you.
