I've tried to follow the 2.5 API as closely as possible and used only the gen_* functions as much as possible. The 2.4 i810 framebuffer driver has been posted in http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/i810fb for sometime and has been downloaded quite a number of times. I've also received a number of mail from people asking me if I should send the driver to be included to the mainstream kernel. I tell them it's not ready yet. Because the driver is dependent on agpgart, I have to modify the agpgart code just a bit so agpgart gets loaded before the framebuffer at boot time. So, I worked around this "misordered" loading by just having the fb create and use its own agpgart services until the kernel agpgart becomes available. Once the kernel agpgart is available, the driver frees its own and will start using the kernel's. I'm hopefully asking for people who have time to review the code and perhaps give some thoughts on the agpgart thing. And for those who have the hardware, to test it as well. Thanks in advance.
