addon:
- the driver has issues - see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9689 - after digging out author's recent email on the net and asking him, he confirmed, \ that he doesen`t maintain it anymore. he lost his hga hardware in 2001. also see \ bugzilla entry.
furthermore:
> hgafb: probe of hgafb.0 failed with error -22 > Device 'hgafb.0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be \ > fixed. > WARNING: at drivers/base/core.c:107 device_release()
as that bug hasn't been touched since january and kernel telling that it`s broken, i \ think it also should depend on BROKEN.
