can you please add

    git://github.com/schandinat/linux-2.6.git fbdev-next

to linux-next. It collects patches for the frame buffer subsystem.
Can you please add the linux-fbdev@vger.kernel.org mailing list as additional
contact for warnings/errors/problems?

You probably want to drop Paul's fbdev branches as they contain some outdated
patches that will conflict with the newer versions.

OK, Paul is still listed as the frame buffer subsystem maintainer, so I
will need an Ack from him.  When I get that, I will replace his tree with
yours.  I assume someone will update the MAINTAINERS file.

I also have another tree from Paul (called fbdev-current) that contained
fixes for Linus' current release.  I also assume that that tree will be
dropped (unless you have a new version of that as well).

Ping?  Anyone?

As long as Florian is taking care of the backlog of the stuff that is
already sitting in that branch, I have no problems with it being dropped.
I'm not planning on pushing any updates to it anyways.
