Hi !

> okay, i started fiddling around now. Current first improvement in the tga
> driver in XFree86 (tested on NetBSD/alpha 2.0RC4):

The patches can be found here:

http://download.unixiron.org/NetBSD-2.0RC4-xsrc-tga-patch.diff

Fixed:
Gets correct clock settings according to XFree86 modeline selection
RAMDAC programming didn't really work, this is currently hacked by me, so sync
timings and polarity will be correctly set.
A new Option "BlankPedestal" (bool) comes in, which enables/disables the
7.5 IRE blank bedestal (default off, and should be off to conform to VESA
specifications i think)

Tested:
Now the image is much better on TFTs, the only remaining problems are the
not-so-good quality output of the TGA and of course the only 8bit color of my
cards.

Bugs:
Not seen any yet, but i think returning to testmode can make trouble, and the
new Option BlankBedestal is also not yet tested, but should work.

It's a hack for now, and maybe it just works with Bt485 RAMDACs, but i would
like to hear if it works in other configurations, to clean up this and feed it
to XFree86 if everything looks nice to me.
