<content type='text'>
Driver for the Silicon Motion SM501 multifunction device framebuffer
subsystem.

This driver supports both the CRT and LCD panel heads, with some simple
acceleration for the cursor plotting and support for screen panning.  There
is no current support for bitblt/drawing engines, which should be added at
a later date.

This has been tested on a number of configurations, including PCI and
generic-bus, on PPC, ARM and SH4

<content type='text'>
Add the PS3 Virtual Frame Buffer Driver.

As the actual graphics hardware cannot be accessed directly by Linux, ps3fb
uses a virtual frame buffer in main memory.  The actual screen image is copied
to graphics memory by the GPU on every vertical blank, by making a hypervisor
call.

The FB_S3TRIO driver:
- has been marked as BROKEN for more than two years and
- is still marked as BROKEN.

Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive this driver, the code is still
present in the older kernel releases.

Remove some video drivers that:

- had already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and
- are still marked as BROKEN.

These are the following drivers:
- FB_CYBER
- FB_VIRGE
- FB_RETINAZ3
- FB_SUN3

Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.

But if anyone wants to ever revive any of these drivers, the code is
still present in the older kernel releases.

<content type='text'>
Add a driver for S3 Trio / S3 Virge.  Driver is tested with most versions
of S3 Trio and with S3 Virge/DX, on i386.

(akpm: We kind-of have support for this hardware already, but...

virgefb.c
  - amiga/zorro specific,
  - broken (according to Kconfig),
  - uses obsolete/nonexistent interface (struct display_switch)
  - recent Adrian Bunk's patch removes this driver

S3triofb.c
  - ppc/openfirmware specific
  - minimal functionality
  - broken (according to Kconfig),
  - uses obsolete/nonexistent interface (struct display_switch)
)

This is an fbdev driver for the IBM GXT4500P display card found in some IBM
System P (pSeries) machines.  These cards have hardware 2D and 3D
capabilities, but the driver does not use them; it just exports a dumb
framebuffer.

Adds functionality to read the EDID information over the DDC bus in a generic
way.  This code is based on the DDC implementation in the radeon driver.

[adaplas]
- separate from fbmon.c and place in new file fb_ddc.c
- remove dependency to CONFIG_I2C and CONFIG_I2C_ALGOBIT, otherwise, feature
  will not compile if i2c support is compiled as a module
- feature is selectable only by drivers needing it. It must have a
  'select FB_DDC if xxx' in Kconfig
- change printk's to dev_*, the i2c people prefers it

The backlight and lcd subsystems can be notified by the framebuffer layer
of blanking events.  However, these subsystems, as a whole, can function
independently from the framebuffer layer.  But in order to enable to the
lcd and backlight subsystems, the framebuffer has to be compiled also,
effectively sucking in a huge amount of unneeded code.

To prevent dependency problems, separate out the framebuffer notification
mechanism from the framebuffer layer and permanently link it to the kernel.

- Remove #include mbxdebug.c, this is frowned upon
- Remove redundant casts
- Arrange #include's alphabetically
- Trivial whitespace
