I have gotten the 2.2 framebuffer driver for the E15 (internal)
display adapter in the IBM 7248-133 43p (carolina Prep MB) to
work (on my machine anyway) in 2.4. This provides a way to
run X with the 2.4 kernels on this hardware.
Here is a patch against the benh rsync tree from last night...

It would be interesting to hear if it works on other variations
of the 7248.

Can't this be merged with the various frame buffer devices for S3 that are
available on the net?

Can you give me more info on these? I see only the S3Trio entry in the
2.4 kernel.

Yes, there's only one S3 driver in the kernel.
But several (3?) half-finished drivers are floating around the net.
Unfortunately I never got any of them to work on the cards I have.
Anyone who still remembers the URLs?

Thanks Robert - I was planning to do this work in the next few days, but
it seems you've saved me the work :-)

I'll be trying it on my 6070 in the next day or so. Should work fine given its the same motherboard.
Cheers,
David
