[MPlayer-dev-eng] [PATCH] svgalib_helper in libdha

[Alex Beregszaszi]

Hi,

>   it.
i will add this part
this means that you added my .h patch into the svgalib tree?

> - fixes compilation on PPC.
it compiles and works for me on ppc ;)

> - adds infrastructure for OS pci code to override processor pci code. 
yes, thats a problem currently

> - using this, now can work if svga helper support compiled in, but 
>   kernel module not loaded.
btw, i've made a svgalib_helper-1.9.7-mplayer.tar.bz2, which
contains a minimal Makefile.cfg and svgaversion.h.

not yet, as dhahelper in mplayerxp provides bustmastering support
and dhahelper is fully GPL, svgahelper not

i would love if you could help merging the 2 codebases into one,
which is fully GPL.

Btw, I'm currently redesigning the whole libdha, becouse currently
it's (imho) a crap.
