I think your driver is an improvement over the old one, but: - Could I2C be ported to kernel I2C api and separated?, so it use would not require the fbdev module loaded. - PCI IDs list should be in pci_ids.h as every other drivers, reality is that adding new IDs to pci_ids.h is not hard so your driver will not be the exception to the rule. -solca ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SF.net Giveback Program.
