Hi

Here I'm sending some framebuffer patches for matrox, mach64, tga and a 
fix for copying on vesafb.

Oh, I did some conflict resolution on "tgafb: fix mode setting with
fbset". It was trivial, so I think I got it right. But please check
anyway in a few days when these get into linux-next.

Hmm. Is there some reason why these are not going through Tomi? And
cc'd to linux-fbdev for that matter?

It's not that I can't apply patches sent directly to me, but quite
frankly, unless there is a *reason* to not go through the subsystem
maintainer I don't really want to. Afaik Tomi has been active and
responsive, but maybe there's some strife I don't know about..

I posted the patches a year ago to the linux-fbdev mailing list 
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-fbdev&r=6&b=201208&w=2) and to Florian Tobias 
Schandinat who was FB maintainer at that time. I didn't get an answer and 
they were ignored.

Yes, there was a time when fbdev maintainership had responsiveness
issues, but that should be fixed. So I'd much rather have these go
through the channels.

And btw, you actually have access to a TGA card? Trippy.

So I repost the patches to current fb maintainers and let them handle 
that.

Yes - on AlphaServer 233MHz.
