The changes I made are not yet in the -current and I not sure all of
them should be there. I would prefer to have them separate in LKM for
the systems that needs them, same about intvid code, or at least have
a configurable option for the kernel. The latest kernels I made where
built from post-1.2 sources, maybe they will alleviate your Quadra
problems (I was not following all discussions in this list, I may be
wrong).
As for another posting,

This message is expected, I have a list of the Slot Manager routines
that must be in the kernel but unfortunately I have very little time
now (graduating soon). Meantime, try running Mac "videodata" program
from the directory above and send me the output. There may be more
things to fix before your card could work.
