Yes, my point is that you shouldn't need to touch pxafb if you use the

going to get removed at some point as they should no longer be needed.

I see.

What changes do you need to it to be able to use it as a generic driver?

The main issue is that the structure definition is in one of the
sharpsl.h files at the moment so most drivers can't get to it. Fix that
and it should make a good generic driver.

I'll do as you suggest!

Ideally I'd prefer to leave the name alone since there is broken
userspace on the Zaurus that uses that name but I can see why people
want it renamed if its to be used as a generic driver...

Yes. :)

I'll wait for the 2.6.21 to see what to do... thanks a lot,

Rodolfo
