Hi Guennadi,

In mx3fb current version overlay does not supporting,
I came across a patch 3/4 v4 i.MX31: framebuffer driver that you submitted
in 2008,
there was support Overlay, but for some reason in the next versions overlay
support has been removed.

As you understand this is necessary if we want to use the foreground and
background Planes.
in my case, one has to display live video, and other graphics.

I would like to hear your opinion, if may reuse a part of this patch,
and add overlay support to mx3fb current version.

Maybe this note in the original commit message explains the reason: 
"Overlay support is included but has never been tested." ;-)

if necessary, I am ready to provide any assistance :-)

Sure, please, re-add it, test, fix, any improvements are welcome.

Thanks
Guennadi
