PS. I assume that your driver will replace the existing vt8623fb (CLE266?) driver when ready. Am I right?These drivers are hardly comparable. vt8623fb supports CLE266 with VGA output only, but allows arbitrary resolutions and pixclocks, high-res text mode and (partially) suspend/resume. viafb implements fixed resolutions only and have no text mode and no suspend/resume support (according to my quick look on it).
It's a pity viafb implements fixed resolutions only. Is there any
specific reason for that?
