This patchset puts device initialization in the correct order and adds support for G200 Desktop chips (PCI ids 0x520 and 0x521).
why? :-)
I'm pretty sure I NAKed the previous version because the userspace experience for these old cards was probably better with xorg-x11-drv-mga, but hey maybe it isn't anymore and we should go ahead. I know SuSE use these for testing, but apart from that do we really think we have any users for this?
The reason I had added this was to enable me to test the basic functionality of this driver with a test box at my desk rather than having to rely on some remote screen setup to some server half way around the world ;)
And I'm actually not sure if the user experience with this card with the xorg-x11-drv-mga is as good as it used to be in its prime time days.
Cheers, Egbert.
