We plan to bodge together Verilog code from various places to get an
OGD1 prototype ready for the O'Reilly Open Source Conference.  The
idea is to have little more than PCI, video, and memory working so
that we can get an image on the screen.  We'll be using some of the
logic available from our SVN and some borrowed from others, much like
we've been doing with the prototypes already.  Then I'll do my
presentation using the computer with the OGD1 card installed.  It'll
be slow, but that's kinda the point.  :)

So, what I need is the simplest x.org driver that will mmap the device
and point the software renderer at the framebuffer.  I don't even want
to mess with any kind of kernel driver.  All the stuff you might use a
kernel driver for will just be done from within the DDX (no
interrupts, direct writes to the colormap, etc.).  We'll use some
other card as the VGA console for booting.

Can anyone help with that?  I'm betting that there's already something
like this.  I just don't know XAA or EXA.
