Thanks.

We will certainly use an fbdev driver on the OLPC system in production
(we plan various magic which requires it); unfortunately, while there is
a fbdev driver for GX1 and LX, there isn't one yet for GX2 (ironic,
isn't it; we have a driver for the older chip and the newer chip;
sigh...).  It is on the "must implement" list.

This instant we need to find someone to hack the two drivers into one...

Anyone familiar with hacking fbdev drivers?

Yup.  That I understand.
