Hallo

More than 15 years have passed since the first working module for a 
zoran chipset based PCI card existed. Well not included into the Linux 
kernel at that time.
According to my experience, the driver started to make problems when 64 
Bit and more than 2GB Ram became popular. In May 2011 there was a patch 
available that made the cards working in machines with more than 2GB 
Ram, and AMD&Intel x64 architectures. According to my information that 
patch did not make it into the linux kernel (the Patch was for the Linux 
2.6.38 Kernel)

So people spend time looking at code that does not work (well it 
compiles and does not cause troubles), and send patches the world will 
never honor.

I haven't had a question related to a zoran based card's in years. So 
I'm quite sure there are not much users out there that use a zoran based 
video cards in a up to date environment.

Because of that I would really suggest that somebody removes the whole 
zoran driver from the linux kernel.
