Can I use my commodore joystick with linux? Only kidding. On the serious
side are converters from SUN keyboards to parallel port avaliable or do I
have to build one myself? I obtained a keyboard from a old IPX workstation
that went into the trash. 

As for CVS. I refined the fbdev API a little more after much talk about
ideas on how to handle it on the fbdev list. Pretty much everything should
compile and work for you. Their might be some bugs here and their with all
the drivers being cleaned up. I applied a nice patch Petr posted on the
lkml mailing list. If you have SMP machines please test it. I don't have a
SMP machine so I can't. 

Q: Why did they deprecate a.out support in linux?
A: Because a nasty coff is bad for your elf.
