| Summary: | Only VESA 4:3 video support in x86_64 builds → nivida and radeon_hd drivers missing in x86_64 builds |

renaming issue, 4:3 really has nothing to do with this issue.

added a bunch of cards into hrev46794.
The only video drivers missing from x86_64 now are 3dfx ati neomagic s3. If you have issues with the added drivers, please open new issues for each one. Transforming this issue to "3dfx ati neomagic s3 missing from x86_64"

I'm not sure it makes sense to add drivers for cards that were made that long ago (3dfx, s3, etc.) - I seriously doubt anyone who plans to run a 64bit Haiku will still be using those cards - especially since some of them probably pre-date 64bit CPUs ;)

Also, probably not a great idea to adjust the summary/description as you partially fix the issue - it severely reduces the readability of the ticket later on.
There's a "strikethrough" feature you could use in the description text though to represent pieces that are no longer broken.

Excuse me for interjecting with a comment. Going forward, AMD, Nvidia, Matrox and Intel is probably all that is needed right now. No point including legacy hardware drivers for a future 64 bit OS.

Replying to vidrep:

3dfx is well documented. Other 64-bit platforms can still have AGP; Alpha, MIPS, PowerPC, Sparc.
I am convinced that there are motherboards for example Athlon 64 that have AGP. Some of the 3dfx accelerators uses PCI, which is still assembled in the latest motherboards.

Is that enough reason to hack on the driver without knowing if it actually works? Who is testing these older cards on 64bit Haiku? Why include potentially broken drivers in x86_64 Haiku that nobody is even using, or likely to use?
I suggest we wait until someone actually has such hardware and willing to test it before we spend time fixing them and including them in the image blindly.

Indeed; closing as no change required, if someone finds an x64 machine with these cards then they should open a new ticket.
Confirmed hrev46791_x86_64 Intel Extreme driver is working at 1920x1080 resolution. Nvidia and Ati/AMD cards still using 4:3 VESA modes.
