Maybe one should mention that the FBDev server is already part of XFree and can be found in programs/Xserver/hw/xfree68
I have patches for an experimental accelerated server for the NCR77C32BLT chip. It was done for an Amiga (ie. m68k) based graphics board and is not fully uptodate with the handling of *_ACCEL flags in the var structures anymore, but if anyone wants to see how to bind an accelerated server into fbdev it might be a good starting point.
If you want to play with these patches, take a look at SunSITE.auc.dk /pub/os/linux/680x0/testing/patches/xfree.diff.gz
Jes
PS: Maybe it is about time we rename xfree68 to xfreefbdev or something similar.
