Subject: Re: VGA out/External Monitor on ibook 2 --Success!!

I finally managed to get the VGA out working at depth 15
along-with higher resolution!! The behaviour is not completely
satisfactory, but here is a brief summary:
1. Initialize CRTC2 by pretty much copying CRTC1 values. CRTC2_GEN_CNTL is
the only one not identical to its CRTC1 counterpart.
2. Ditto for P2PLL.
3. Make sure DAC is set to CRTC2 (this is the OF default if you boot with
the monitor plugged in.)
4. (This one took some time:) Copy dda_config and dda_on_off values to
dda2_config and dda2_on_off. While debugging this, I realized that the
IBook's video memory is not 128-bit SDR SGRAM but 64-bit (sdr_64 in
aty128fb).
The problems that still remain: depths > 16 lead to screen corruption.
This could still be a dda_config/dda_on_off issue. I really have no idea
on this.
Then, at higher (than 1024x768) resolutions, the display on the external
montitor does not span the width of the monitor. Plan to look into this
during the next available free time :)
Thanks for your input.
