Hi List(s),
i wrote a fbdev driver for the HP Visualize FX cards used some of
the
PA-RISC workstations. It utilizes some of the 2D acceleration features
present in the card.

Thanks for all the work you put into this. We welcome drivers even for
older hardware, but not for fbdev. DRM is all the rage now and has
been for a while. I'd like to ask you to convert the driver to DRM and
resubmit to [off-list ref].

I while ago, I made conversion helpers for this. You can look at [1]
for a trivial DRM drivers that wraps existing fbdev drivers for use
with DRM. Once you have that, it turns into a refactoring job.

Thanks, i wasn't aware as i normally don't do any graphics related
development. I take a look at dri and port the driver, which is
hopefully not too hard.
