My card is a Neomagic, so I use vesafb...
Please let me know if somebody has specs for:
00:08.0 VGA compatible controller: Neomagic Corporation NM2160 [MagicGraph
128XD] (rev 01)
If they're enough to write a fb driver for this card... Well, I can try and
write a driver. 8)
Humm, there are XFree86 drivers (that sucks lately, but I'm lazy so maybe
its my fault)...
