Is there a public datasheet for the HW? The driver as it is now is quite horrible. Huge tables of raw data, written directly to the registers. Lots of magic numbers all around. Even with a datasheet, presuming it's public and it contains all those values, the driver is rather unmaintainable. All those need to be sorted out for the DRM driver anyway, so maybe it's better to clean up the fb driver first. > And, just to inform you, there are two more fbdev drivers in staging, > staging/sm750fb and staging/fbtft. And the ultimate goal of any driver Thanks for pointing this out, I need to check those and think how to proceed. Tomi
