No, the internal au1100 fb controller is supported in 2.4. The external 
epson controller is supported through the LCD chip select. What needs to 
be done in 2.6 is an update of the au1100fb driver to the new api. Right 
now what I'm working on part time is syncing up 2.6 with the latest 2.4 
updates and getting the basic features functioning, including the 36 bit 
address support. Then the drivers update will come one at a time. Of 
course, if someone else has time to help, patches are welcomed :)
