trying to fix my console character displayment I wonder whether I'm
looking at the right place ?????
When in the console with 8bpp, fbcon-cfb8.c is the driver the kernel uses
right? Not the tdfxfb driver for the card?

Tdxfb is accelerated. So unless you disable acceleration, it uses the
operations in fbcon_banshee8 in tdxfb.c:

    info->dispsw = noaccel ? fbcon_cfb8 : fbcon_banshee8

Thanks, if I simply make it call fbcon-cfb8 no matter what the font
appears correctly. So I guess what I have to acctually do is to fix the
'do_putc' and 'do_putcs' functions in tdfxfb.c to diplay BIGENDIAN
characters correctly.
That's what your nibbletab_cfb8 does in fbcon-cfb8 right?
