I just bought this card so I'm willing to give it a try.

So I have the cirrus fb driver ported to 2.6, with a few caveats:

+ ZORRO is busted (don't have the hardware... once i get things nice

  hardware to test this>?)
+ the only mode it likes is 640x480 (but then, that's the only one 
  i got working with the 2.4 driver, so, maybe that's not a regression...)
+ inserting it as a module just leaves crap all over the screen

I ended up doing a lot of things like 's/fb_info/cinfo/g' so the diff
is gonna look like the whole file, though I haven't (yet) changed any
of the actual register-writing logic.

Is there anyone else with cirrus logic video boards lying around who will
be interested in testing the new driver in a couple of days?
