I've added a patch to recognise my (microATX) 690G motherboard; according to the xorg.log file, it looks like my mb uses the same atom bios as the -S3H mother board (the ATX version of my motherboard), so I don't know whether the code should be quite so specific about what it has identified; what do you think?
If you don't need any quirks for this card, it doesn't need to be identified. So as long as the motherboard works fine (read: all outputs work and modes are stable) we shouldn't add anything to rhd_id.c.
This makes a lot of sense - no point in listing it in the quirks table if it doesn't have quirks! I haven't tested the DVI or HDMI yet because I don't have a cable, so I'm still using VGA. :-(
Historically, the table contains some non-quirks entries - now I think we should either get rid completely of them, or move the entries (just the names) to a different table without quirks information.
As a user, I would appreciate the non-quirks table; it doesn't add any actual functionality and would add some bloat, but looking through the xorg.log file and seeing that your card has been recognised would give me some reassurance that someone somewhere has given the card a go and so it's likely to work. I do appreciate this would be low priority work though. Thanks for your feedback, sorry for the delay in answering and keep up the good work. :-) Thanks, Tim -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: radeonhd+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: radeonhd+help@opensuse.org
