I Know this file && lkm...
I tried to use it , with a Radius vdeo card ( I think)
Now I'm using , just internal video, on a IIci, so I don't think
I can change CLUT :-(

Id-Software release the linux-X11 vers. of Doom.
I tried to compile it , & run it on my IIci+internal-video+
XColorServer (without Lkm) , so I got BAD color ( light yellow on whithe :-)
I succesfully run Doom, and I got .... 5 fps :-)

Now I'm "working" to make it run without X11 ( acess directly to /dev/adb
and /dev/grf0) . It is FAST but, without right color :-(

Now a question about GCC:
I think that GCC give parameters to functions, with the stack.
right ?
Is there a way to pass paramaters via register ? ( as CW with PPC ) ?
