What's missing is support *in* XFree86.  That where I lost time.

 That's the second step anyway.

The PMAG-AA basically works for me, but it is not too useful without
working keyboard support. XFree86 preprocesses the xkbd input in order
to handle PC keyboard's key sequences, this breaks the LK keyboard
support.

Ugh, so it sill uses RAW instead of MEDIUM_RAW?

Thiemo said that he had a more recent patch which will more likely be
accepted upstream, iirc.

 Could one of you as the authors please resend the most recent patch to
the [off-list ref] list?  I'm subscribed there,
so I'll see comments and reply if needed. 

I already sent some parts earlier, but I don't know if they got lost
(is there an up-to-date CVS for fbdev?).

There's a BK, but only for 2.[56].x.

Anyway, the AA driver is appended as a diff against current linux-mips
CVS. I hope it doesn't deviate too much from whatever fbdev uses.

This is against 2.4.x, right?
