Fortunately that's two different boards on two different architectures of different endianess. The only _known_ remaining bug relate to depth switching, going from 8 to 16/32 bpp give a wrong colormap (need to go to X and back to restore). The only known current fix is a small patch again driver/video/fbgen.c that probably break something else, so I haven't included it in the distributed patch. If the driver is ever integrated, here's the MAINTAINERS stuff: (not yet included in the linux kernel patches) PERMEDIA 3 FRAMEBUFFER DRIVER P: Romain Dolbeau M: dolbeau@irisa.fr L: linux-fbdev-devel@lists.sourceforge.net W: <http://www.irisa.fr/prive/dolbeau/pm3fb/pm3fb.html> S: Maintained Hope someone will find it useful, -- DOLBEAU Romain | l'histoire est entierement vraie, puisque ENS Cachan / Ker Lann | je l'ai imaginee d'un bout a l'autre dolbeau@irisa.fr | -- Boris Vian - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
