This patch removes video drivers that: - had already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and - are still marked as BROKEN. These are the following drivers: - FB_CYBER - FB_VIRGE - FB_RETINAZ3 - FB_ATARI - FB_SUN3 - FB_PM3 Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future. But if anyone wants to ever revive any of these drivers, the code is still present in the older kernel releases.

Thanks for this information.
Are any of the following Atari options that are also on my
"BROKEN since at least 2.6.0" list also being revived?
- HADES (arch/m68k/Kconfig)
- ATARI_ACSI (drivers/net/Kconfig)
- ATARI_BIONET (drivers/net/Kconfig)
- ATARI_PAMSNET (drivers/net/Kconfig)
- ATARI_SCSI (drivers/scsi/Kconfig)

AFAIK, Michael is also working on ATARI_SCSI.

The rest are m68k drivers. I do have S3Trio and a Virge card but no specs. |

Thank you for offering to take over my job of rejecting spam on the linux-fbdev

And thats any different from lists on other servers, such as kernel.org? If the sourceforce people can't run list, just talk to Matti or DaveM and move it to kernel.org. Jes |

I'm probably the only one with a RetinaZ3 left but the machine hasn't been booted for quite a while..... not sure if I'll get to it in the near future, but I can always resurrect the patches from an old kernel and start from there if I do.

Grrrrrrrrrr Someone cross posted this to one of those idiotic messed up members-only lists, namely linux-fbdev-devel. I don't know who did that, but please leave that broken list off the CC list when cross postings to properly configured mailing lists such as linux-m68k and linux-kernel, until the admin of linux-fbdev-devel gets a clue.
