Hi,

I recently bought an old laptop with a Compaq AVGA video chipset, and I did not find 
any support for it under xfree86-4.3.0, but there is an AVGA driver for xfree86-3.3.6. 
I am thinking about porting it to 4.x. Is there any work already underway with the 
AVGA driver for 4.x or do I need to start from scratch?

I don't have any previous driver programming experience, but I have started reading 
the xfree86 DESIGN document and have some documentation for the AVGA chipset from 
VGADOC, but it doesn't seem complete. I've also looked at xfree86.org/developer.html 
and xfree86.linuxwiki.org.

Does anyone have any more hints about how to start, what documents to read, if there 
are any 4.x drivers which could be similar to the AVGA driver, better chip 
documentation etc?
