Hey

On request of Noralf, I picked up the patches and prepared v5. Works fine with Xorg, if configured according to: https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2014-January/052777.html If anyone knows how to make Xorg pick it up dynamically without such a static configuration, please let me know.

Thanks David

Hi!

I asked Noralf about this patch set recently, and he mentioned that this never made it any further than this patch series...

Are there still any interest in getting this mainlined? Does the code exist in any repo anywhere? For my own part, this would be an awesome driver to have to resurrect some old hardware I have lying around...

I think no objections against merging this from upstream pov, and David hopefully still has a git branch somewhere. Even better if you could get a distro on board to use this instead of efifb of offb. -Daniel
