Take a look at the skeleton fb driver -- there are headers with each function explaining what it does. There may be some other documentation in the Documentation directory but I'm not sure. It's not as easy as updated Kconfig. But fortunately the au1100fb driver is a pretty simple driver so updating it shouldn't be that bad. I would suggest you follow the example of a 2.6 FB driver that has been updated to the new API. Pete
