There is very little common data in sa1100fb_info. In fact, from my point of view as the previous driver maintainer, I'd say that all the data within sa1100fb_info is hardware dependent, with the exception of the fb_info at the start, which is placed there to provide a convienent and FAST way to get at the data. However, since you've decided you know better, I leave this driver completely in your hands to fuck up. -- Russell King (rmk@arm.linux.org.uk) The developer of ARM Linux http://www.arm.linux.org.uk/personal/aboutme.html ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Bringing you mounds of caffeinated joy. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
