[Gc-linux-devel] Effort to port the gcnfb driver to newer Linux versions

[sfan5 <sf...@ym...>]

Hi,

I've been trying to port the Gamecube/Wii framebuffer driver to Linux 3.14.
I took the latest version of gcnfb.c available and applied a patch to 
fix color problems with applications such as Xorg or colored terminal 
output( http://fartersoft.com/downloads/vfb-wii.diff ) and tried to port.
Despite my efforts the driver does not work as expected.
I hope someone can help me with porting.
The patch for my current work can be found here: http://sprunge.us/ESCd

I've done a fair bit of work already trying to update/forward port each 
of those.  My work so far can be found on Github here:

Interesting and good luck.  I can't help you, but I can let you know 
that there are users of Linux on the Wii out there so please stick with it!
