Properly speaking, we are use SM5xx on our MPC5200 based board. So this driver, by definition, working on PPC ;). AFAIK, only one problem exist in kernel FB: it is 16bpp (AKA RGB565). (in DirectFB and in X such problem worked around) P.S. Stephen, as I pointed in my mail, which you are quote, sm5xx-devel@lists.berlios.de is working, so, please, CC such mails in this list too. -- Andrey Volkov > Thanks in Advance. > Stephen. > > Andrey Volkov wrote: > >> Hi all, >> >> Yesterday I issued new SiliconMotion SM501 drivers >> project request to berlios, and receive >> approvement couple hours ago. >> >> So project home page is: >> >> http://developer.berlios.de/projects/sm5xx/ >> >> Anyone who wants admin/write-access, please register with >> berlios and tell me your account. >> >> SVN will be activated in nearest hours. >> Berlios has direct shell access to your repos. >> So if there are any svn/CVS-dumps to import or any >> scripts to set up... >> >> The central mailing list >> >> sm5xx-devel@lists.berlios.de >> >> will be active soon too. >> >> -- >> Happy hacking ;), >> >> Andrey Volkov >> Varma Electronics Oy >> >> -------- Original Message -------- >> Subject: BerliOS Developer Project Approved >> Date: Wed, 11 Oct 2006 12:49:58 +0200 (CEST) >> From: admin@berlios.de >> To: avolkov@varma-el.com >> >> Your project registration for BerliOS Developer has been approved. >> >> Project Full Name: SM5xx Toolchain >> Project Unix Name: sm5xx >> CVS Server: cvs.berlios.de >> SVN Server: svn.berlios.de >> Shell Server: shell.berlios.de >> Web Server: sm5xx.berlios.de >> >> >> _______________________________________________ >> Linuxppc-embedded mailing list >> Linuxppc-embedded@ozlabs.org >> https://ozlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxppc-embedded >> >> >> >> > > > >
