Hi! I have a new patch avaiable. It is against 2.5.50. The patch is at http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/fbdev.diff.gz Have fun!!!! Drivers ported are: (Give them a try) ATI Mach 64 ATI 128 VESA VGA16 HGA NIVIDA NEOMAGIC The BIG changes are: 1) The seperation of the console code out of the fbdev drivers. 2) Total modularity of the frmaebuffer console system. Yes that is right. You can build it has modules. Great for testing. The following are results of the new changes which I have tested. With my VIA laptop with my neomagic card I was able to build it with vgacon and no fbcon. Then I insmod neofb and the soft accel (cfb*.c) needed. It loading and did NOT change the video hardware state. At this point I could run fbdev apps including a X server using /dev/fb solely. On opening /dev/fb0 the graphics hardware state changed. In theory I could exit X and get vgacon back. In order to do this I have to reset the hardware back to vga text mode in the fb_release function. It can be done but I haven't done it yet. With the second experiment I was able to insmod the fonts and fbcon.o. Then it switched from vgacon to fbcon. In theory I could again call the release function and reset the hardware back to a text mode state. All that is needed is the hardware specific code to do this. Things to be done: 1) A few bugs in fbcon to hammer out. 2) Fbcon to support changing resolution via the console layer. 3) Move the logo code out of fbcon.c to fbmem.c. With pure fbdev you need something to let you know things worked. 4) Software rotation.
