I can add that in the past few weeks, there was a mail from - they said
so - developpers from intel who were developping linux frame buffer
drivers the i810, they were saying they would release it soon, this
occures after James Simmons made his FB howto available; they were
interested in the 2D, 3D fb acceleration but they could not wait for the
kernel 2.2.5 to be released. They seemed pretty in a hurry.
