Hi folks!!! Just to let you know where I am for the fbdev developement. I finished off the latest api changes. The cursor api has been cleaned up and it uses fb_image struct. This makes life easier. I ported over the ATI 128 driver to the latest changes. I finished the 3Dfx driver yesterday and got the ATI mach 64 driver done this morning. I will test it tomorrow. Then I will finsih up the NVIDIA driver. After that I'm going to push the code to linus.
Any patches in the meantime? I have a few changes I can pass to you: 1. optimized putcs to speed up scrolling by 2-3x. (it's a small patch but it already outperforms fb-2.4 especially at high color depths). Compared with the previous patch I submitted, this change is non-intrusive, so no other changes are required. 2. vga16fb imageblit that supports drawing of the penguin (vga-4-planes only) 3. logo drawing for directcolor visuals. The above should complete softaccel support for most hardware except for the more esoteric ones (mostly authored by Geert). Also cfbcursor is a bit misleading, no? It implies support for packed-pixels only, but I already use it with vga16fb.
