Re: new api example or docs ?

Hello James.

I did give a quick try at adapting pm3fb to the new api, but without
much success.

I did look at skeletonfb.c as you suggested (the one in the 2.5.29
kernel) and after some work to make it build, it only gave me a segfault
when inserting the module.
skeletonfb is meant for only a example. I never expected to work.
Looking a bit more to into this, and comparing skeletonfb to both neofb
and matroxfb, it seems to me that the skeletonfb that ships with the
2.5.29 kernel is severly outdated.
No skeletonfb is pretty much up to data. The driver to look at is the 3Dfx
driver. Its is the best new api driver.
In this case, which driver would you suggest i look at ? And is there
other documentation about the new api around.
Not yet.
