All of the ones in linux/drivers/video. I have the API in but know one
seems to understand the new API. I have written a FB-Driver-HOWTO. You can
read it from http://www.linux-fbdev.org. Note I wrote that when I first
developed the new API. I have made a few changes to the API since then. I
really need to update that HOWTO but the bulk of it is true. I sent out
email today explaining the new API. Its not easy changing a internal API.
I even have fbmon.c included. Its purpose was to port the generic
monitor driver of kgicon over to fbdev. Never got around to it. I was busy
redesigning other things in fbdev. Still am.
