Can you add it to the aty128 driver in 2.6? I tried porting ben's code from his
new radeonfb driver into aty128fb but I couldn't get it to work.

Also, I2C drivers for Intel810, Savage, Voodoo, etc are implemented as
standalone I2C drivers. Ben implemented his and Matrox as an integral part of
the fb driver. Wouldn't it be better to implement these all standalone? It's
probably the same amount of code, and I can use the standalone ones from Mesa
without loading framebuffer support.
