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.

The code w100fb was based on was horribly Sharp SL-C7x0 specific and there
was little else that could be done as I had no access to anything else with
a w100 in it. There is no real documentation about this chipset available.
Ian Molton has access to other platforms with the w100 (Toshiba e-series)
and so between us, we've improved w100fb and made it platform independent.
Ian Molton also added support for the very similar w3220 and w3200
chipsets.
There are a lot of changes here and it nearly amounts to a rewrite of the
driver but it has been extensively tested and is being used in preference
to the original driver in the Zaurus community. I'd therefore like to
update the mainline code to reflect this.

Attached is a patch against 2.6.11.7 which tidies up the tdfxfb framebuffer
size detection code a little and fixes the broken support for Voodoo4/5
cards. (I haven't tested this on a Voodoo5, however, because I don't have
the hardware).

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!
