SSP based framebuffer driver

Hey everyone, I am hoping that this list can provide some insight into an issue that I'm trying to figure out. I am working with a Gumstix platform using an ssp driven LCD screen. We can talk to the LCD screen over the ssp pins, and we even have a driver that maps it to a /dev/ file. We would ultimately like to have this device working as a framebuffer driven device. I don't know enough about framebuffers, yet, but am reading as much as possible. So my questions are: * Can anyone recommend any basic literature for diving into this? * Has anyone seen or heard of this kind of functionality? * Do any projects exist relating to this? * From my understanding thus far, we would want to implement our own /dev/fb0 (or similar) that took X Server commands and throws them out to the ssp device. Is this the right kind of thinking? Thank you!
