I commited the port of the VR4181 fb driver to ruby a couple days ago,
I've got it adjusted to work with the linux-mips tree, and have a patch
for that if you want it.. I'm holding off on merging it into ruby as
ruby isn't exactly mips safe at the moment.

As the tree sits right now, it should be able to functional fairly
sanely on anything VR4181 based. I've been working on getting things
functional for the VR4111 (which is almost completed, patch should
be ready in the next day or two), as I only have a VR4111 device for
testing on.

As far as fb drivers go, I've already ported the majority of the ones
from the VR tree to ruby.. once ruby works properly on MIPS, all that
will have to be done will be some minor tweaks to work with Jun's VR
patch.

If anyone has a NEC Osprey sitting around, it'd be an ideal test
platform for both the tree in its current state, and for ruby with
the vr4181fb + my patch.

If anyone wants the patch for vr4181fb in ruby to work with Jun's
patch, let me know.

I'm also in the process of writing up some defconfig's for various
PDAs.. Brad's tree had these all as options in the 1500 line Config.in,
and they're much cleaner hidden away in a configs directory. I'll
commit these when I finish.
