This is a framebuffer driver for the Cyberblade/i1 graphics core.
Currently tridenfb claims to support the cyberblade/i1 graphics core. This
is of very limited truth. Even vesafb is faster and provides more working
modes and a much better quality of the video signal. There is a great
number of bugs in tridentfb ... but most often it is impossible to decide
if these bugs are real bugs or if fixing them for the cyberblade/i1 core
would break support for one of the other supported chips.
Tridentfb seems to be unmaintained,and documentation for most of the
supported chips is not available. So "fixing" cyberblade/i1 support inside
of tridentfb was not an option, it would have caused numerous
if(CYBERBLADEi1) else ... cases and would have rendered the code to be
almost unmaintainable.
A first version of this driver was published on 2005-07-31. A fix for a
bug reported by Jochen Hein was integrated as well as some changes
requested by Antonino A. Daplas.
A message has been added to tridentfb to inform current users of tridentfb
to switch to cyblafb if the cyberblade/i1 graphics core is detected.
This patch is one logical change, but because of the included documentation
it is bigger than 70kb. Therefore it is not sent to lkml and
linux-fbdev-devel,

This lifts sisfb from version 1.7.17 to version 1.8.9. Changes include:
- Added support for XGI V3XT, V5, V8, Z7 chipsets, including POSTing of
all of these chipsets.
- Added support for latest SiS chipsets (761).
- Added support for SiS76x memory "hybrid" mode.
- Added support for new LCD resolutions (eg 1280x854, 856x480).
- Fixed support for 320x240 STN panels (for embedded devices).
- Fixed many HDTV modes (525p, 750p, 1080i).
- Fixed PCI config register reading/writing to use proper kernel
functions for this purpose.
- Fixed PCI ROM handling to use the kernel's proper functions.
- Removed lots of "typedef"s.
- Removed lots of code which was for X.org/XFree86 only.
- Fixed coding style in many places.
- Removed lots of 2.4 cruft.
- Reduced stack size by unifying two previously separate structs into
one.
- Added new hooks for memory allocation (for DRM). Now the driver can
truly handle multiple cards, including memory management.
- Fixed numerous minor bugs.

This patch removes drivers that have hardware cursors from calling the
software cursor code. Also if the driver sets a no hardware cursor flag
then the driver reports a error it someone attempts to use the cursor.

arch/mips/Kconfig is defining CONFIG_FB as bool and drivers/video/Kconfig
was changed a while ago to define it as tristate. Remove the MIPS
definition.

Add support for the Arc monochrome LCD board.
The board uses KS108 controllers to drive individual 64x64 LCD matrices.
The board can be paneled in a variety of setups such as 2x1=128x64,
4x4=256x256 and so on. The board/host interface is through GPIO.

This patch adds support for the framebuffer on the freescale i.MX SOC
architecture. The driver has been tested on the mx1ads board, the pimx1 board
and another custom board with different displays.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
