I have plans for doing a full rewrite of pm3fb for 2.5, just not really
the times right now. I will do it before 2.6 (or 3.0 or whatever) is
released though. I have already done some work, just not filled in the
mode changes and other such. That said, it may be on the limit of my
NDA, which was supposed to be for XFree86 only (altough i guess the
current XFree86 code counts as available from other source though.
I just finished the low level driver api. It pretty much is set in stone. 
I might remove fg_color and bg_color in struct fb_image but that is a 
maybe and a small issue. I'm going to add software rotation in tonight. 
Then after that start cleaning up fbcon.c itself. You can grab the latest 
patch against 2.5.49 at

http://phoenix.infradead.org/~jsimmons/fbdev.diff.gz

It works and several drivers work. 
Ok, thanks, i will give it a try.

But right now, i am doing some XFree86 work that need to be finished
before (or shortly after) the 4.3.0 feature freeze.

Friendly,

Sven Luther
