(OT: it isn't in the archives in SF, either!). I hate to play "me too!", but I also have an SM501 framebuffer driver in a partial state of development. I'd love to collaborate with others to get a good version pushed upstream. One of the challenges I've encountered with this chip is dealing with all the "other stuff" it has onboard. In my driver, I addressed that by creating a whole new bus similar to what Nico did for the UCB1400. I was in the process of getting AC97 working when I figured out that that part of the chip is so braindead, it isn't worth using--- at least on ARM platforms that don't have DMA (which was my case). In an upcoming project I need to use the USBH, so I'll be revisiting this issue again soon. I have also cc'd others who have worked with me on this chip. I'd be happy to post code if that makes sense. Or to host a CVS repo or something.
