I started porting tridentfb this weekend and to me too tdfx seemed the best example to use.

that's unrelated to the new fb API.It's the 'new' PCI API which is in 2.4 too
and lets you detect the PCI cards your driver knows about without calling
pci_find_devices & co by instead supplying the probe/remove functions and a PCI id table.
It also help with power management..
