Sorry, didn't see this. :)

The patches were designed for the 1.3 -current sources. As far as I can
remember, though, grf_iv.c hasn't changed since Allen and I worked on the
CIVIC interrupt stuff during 1.3 Alpha.

Somebody should do a send-pr on this so it goes into the kernel. I tried
the other day but my NetBSD box is behind a firewall and I don't really
have sendmail services setup.

The patch I sent to Ryan turns off video interrupts (I hope) on the 630's.
This will allow ethernet to work properly and hopefully other things that
were dependant on proper servicing of video interrupts.

It also includes the Quadra patch as well. If it works I can submit it to
the powers that be and get it incorporated into the source tree.

BTW, can somebody please tell me exactly what the protocol is for folks to
send in patches for official entry into the source tree? I would email Scott
but sometimes it seems as though he disappears for weeks at a time.
