Well, as we discussed, EvStack^WThe GGI console :) is not going
to handle the display part anymore ; so I suppose you should create
a directory in CVS for kgicon and put the drivers under that..

I'm leaving for a week from thursday to next thursday, but I'll try to
get the mediaGX driver to work before. Actually Phil Sydor of Cyrix
is visiting us tomorrow, I'd like to show him it works on a stock
kernel :) (he wanted to install slackware 2.something to test
the driver *snicker* have to give him a proper distribution too)

I'll take care of that when I have a second. It can already use some
C optimization for all platforms too.. (not your code, fbcon I mean)

That's not going to be evident :)
