Re: Linux framebuffer on i865

	Hi Hubert,

I've sucessfully used Linux 2.4 intel frame buffer written by David Dawes
as the only alternative to get around buggy bioses that make VESA unusable.
He seems to have no plan to port it to 2.6, and I have no idea about required
changes since they are Linux frame buffer internal API changes.

Do you have plans to make the port since the frame buffer maintainer his
probably the guy the best knows what needs to be adjusted ?

I don't have the hardware, so I cannot test it.

Any other takers?

Please also notice that the URL listed in Linux MAINTAINERS file seems to be dead:
http://www.linux-fbdev.org

Thanks, we're already aware of that...

Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
