Re: [Linux-fbdev-devel] Re: CHIPS drivers

[Jordan C. <jo...@Ce...>]

A tarball of the alpha 2.4.X driver and header file is on my website:

http://cosmic.censoft.com

If I can get a chance later, I will provide a patch against 2.4.2-ac25.

I also have a contract to provide support for 69000s on two flat panels,
so I am willing to help Adrian as much as possible.

As far as the functionality, I think that we should provide suport for
the following:

* full support for the 69000/69030 on i386 and PPC for both CRT and flat
panel
* provide multihead support for both CRT and flat panels (and a
combination of both)
* Provide simple legacy support for the 65550 family (nothing fancy,
just get the thing to show pretty pictures)

At some point, the future may include:

* Accelerator support 
* NSC/PAL support (ugh!)
* Video input (double ugh!)
