Thanks for CC'ing me. Lately I got dropped frequently from the
mailinglist (after 1 or 2 days). Guess I should try subscribing via my
own mail server.

Hi Florian,

        As you seems very busy I'd like to propose the help you to handle the
        fbdev subsystem to easier the rich of the fbdev patch to Linus

        As I'm working on fbdev on at91 and others and already Co-Maintain the
        at91 mach on ARM

        And if you are not willing to continue I could take over

Yeah, it would be great if you could help, at the moment I get barely
any sleep, let alone that I could keep up with the majority of mail I
get. I'll let you decide whether you want to be sole maintainer or not.

I'd like to have feed back from others on this

I still have interest in the subsystem, but it looks like VIA won't
provide any information for their new VX11 chipset IGP for any open
source driver and I'm still looking for a small, quiet mobile device as
a replacement for my precious netbook that broke down last autumn to
allow me working when I'm not at home.

I personnaly use a MacBook Air 11" with a powerpack to extend it to 15h of
battery

Andrew has been fallback fbdev maintainer for a while, we have the
option of formalizing that as well. Adding him on cc so he sees this.

At this point I'd like to thank all people who have helped out so far,
especially Tomi and Andrew.


Best regards,
