It doesn't support LVDS or DVI yet but I'm hoping to make it go in that direction, I've no LVDS h/w, and some chipsets have it integrated and some don't, but this is a better basis for future work, and I'll have no problems keeping it updated with fixes as they come from the X.org driver... I'd like to get at least LVDS support working for laptop users with these chipsets, getting DVI working is a bit more work as there are external chips that need to be driven over i2c, so I'll need to at least add i2c support to the i8xx driver. (I noticed Sylvain has done some of this work before)..... I'd like to expose i2c buses to userspace anyways.... > There's no git tree for the framebuffer layer, I just send updates > directly to akpm.
