OK, thanks.

Hi Otto,
Do you still maintain linux-fbdev.sf.net ?

If so:  the fbdev-users mailing list is no longer being used.
Please try to shut it down and don't mention it on the FBDEV project web pages.
Also, the fbdev-devel mailing list should be added to the project web pages
(lin...@li...).


thanks,
