      [PATCH] Update cyblafb driver · 44637a12
      Knut Petersen authored
      This is a major update to the cyblafb framebuffer driver. Most
      of the stuff has been tested in the mm tree.
      
      Main advantages:
      ============
        - vxres > xres support
        - ywrap and xpan support
        - much faster for almost all modes (e.g. 1280x1024-16bpp
           draws more than 41 full screens of text instead of about 25
           full screens of text per second on authors Epia 5000)
        - module init/exit code fixed
        - bugs triggered by console rotation fixed
        - lots of minor improvements
        - startup modes suitable for high performance scrolling
           in all directions
      
      This diff  also contains a lot of white space fixes.
      
      No side effects are possible, only one single graphics core is affected.

      [PATCH] framebuffer: new driver for cyberblade/i1 graphics core · 9fa68eae
      Knut Petersen authored
      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,
