Subject: Status of the FB drivers on m68k
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2017 20:32:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <2fd42624-7128-81e5-db7b-e7eed3eaa50c@physik.fu-berlin.de> (raw)

Hi!

Does anyone of the kernel guys, especially Geert, know what the current status
of the framebuffer drivers on m68k is?

I am currently discussing the topic of usable graphics cards on Debian/m68k
on the German Amiga forum a1k.org since one user asked me [1] and he told
me that in the past, users could use CONFIG_FB_CYBER and CONFIG_FB_VIRGE
which both seem gone, sadly.

Also, the CONFIG_FB_PM2 driver is marked as broken [2].

Is there a chance to bring the CYBER and VIRGE drivers back? And maybe
get PM2 working on m68k?

Adrian
