I have used it the last month or so. It works on my laptop, an asus S8100 with the Lynx3DM chipset and I have just gained access to another containing the LynxEM chip (on which I will test the driver shortly). As the most critical part, the TFT timings, are taken from XFree86 and/or the BIOS in my laptop, I do not think this driver will break anything. The driver only supports Digital Flat Panels at the moment (due to time constraints in the course) but I will add real CRT monitor support as soon as possible(tm) The driver is totally accelerated with all three types of blits and a hardware cursor. Code can be found at http://www.dina.kvl.dk/~thomassi/lynxfb It plugs into /usr/src/linux/drivers/video/lynxfb if unpacked in /usr/src/linux/drivers/video There are 3 diff files in the code. One for the Makefile in drivers/video, one for Kconfig and one for pci_ids.h Regards Thomas S.
