I've just been notified that the s3c2410 framebuffer driver has been submitted by Arnaud. I have a question about what path this will take to getting into the mainline kernel,New drivers go to the mm tree first. I just sent the patch to Andrew.
Ok, will check there tommorow.

and how long it will be.It's early in the cycle, so it should get to linux-2.6.14. Tony PS: If this driver is already well tested, we can always tell Andrew to get it to mainline quicker.
I'm reasonably happy with it, I've been asking Arnaud to get it moving since late in 2.6.12 (iirc) thanks, -- Ben (ben@fluff.org, http://www.fluff.org/) 'a smiley only costs 4 bytes' ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is Sponsored by the Better Software Conference & EXPO September 19-22, 2005 * San Francisco, CA * Development Lifecycle Practices Agile & Plan-Driven Development * Managing Projects & Teams * Testing & QA Security * Process Improvement & Measurement * http://www.sqe.com/bsce5sf
