Naw seriously though I am just having a hard time following through the code, Like I'm trying to look through the battery code and find the exact calculations so that I can get my battery fix to work better, but I just can't seems to figure out what means what... I get the whole R0-15 concept and what each line BASICALLY does, but I get lost in trying to find out where the code is "popping" and "pushing data to and from the stack... and where the exact calculations are happening... I have IDA Pro and I know a bit of x86 ASM, but ARM doesn't seem to fall into the same level...

I need like a guide for ARM ASM...
Yeah .. there are just a few guys that i know who mastered that. Part of the problem we have is lack of knowledge of the hardware.

The way im approaching the 3d is backwards. I made a wince app to load up ahi2dati directly so i can see what part of the mem is being affected. Thats the easy part. I tried putting those addresses into the kernel code but no luck. So i'm almost thinking that it may not be memory related. ATI doesnt really have any documentation on this and they most likely wont help.

i want to get more devs involved. We are lacking manpower on the Rhod.
