RE: [Linux-fbdev-devel] Query on framebuffer implementations

[Dawud, M. <muh...@in...>]

Hi all,

I've donwloaded the updated i810 framebuffer drivers. Pardon me for asking
but I'm not exactly a seasoned Linux whiz and I understand that this
question is rather trivial but I've tried a few things so far but they
haven't worked... I don't really know how I can install and enable the
drivers. In the tarred file, there is only two files which are i810fb.c &
i810fb.h. What I've done so far is :-

	- I've put both the i810fb.c and i810fb.h in the
/usr/src/linux/drivers/video directory
	- I've also downloaded a previous version of drivers_video.tgz, and
I've placed the Config.in and the fbmem.c file in the
/usr/src/linux/drivers/video directory.
	- What's next.... any tips....

Thanks,
Dawud

I have no idea about the fbdev CVS and its policy.
The latest copy I know, can be found here:
