There is lynxfb.c in the linuxppc_2_4_devel tree (http://www.penguinppc.org/dev/kernel.shtml). You can use that as the starting point.

A working fbset just proves that you are able to talk to the framebuffer support in the kernel. It doesn't indicate that your framebuffer is actually able to talk to your hardware. -- Chirag Kantharia, symonds.net/~chyrag/ ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
