I was for five weeks in U.S., so I did not do anything with

up on reasonable speed for fbdev long ago...). But I simply
want loadfont and putcs hooks for character painting. And if 
fbdev maintainer does not want to give me them, well, then 
matroxfb and fbdev are not compatible.

Petr,

I submitted the Tile Blitting patch to James some time ago, it has
tilefill, tilecopy and tileblit hooks.  These hooks should eliminate the
"multiply in fbcon, divide in driver" bottleneck.

It should result in the same behavior as you would expect in the the 2.4
API, so you can use text mode with your matroxfb driver.  These same
hooks will also help optimize drawing if we need to use fonts like
12x22.
