Actually you could probably replace the HAL functionality by using the

I believe someone asked Petr once and he said he didn't mind if we used
his driver as a reference. IANAL, but as long as you didn't just
blatantly cut and paste the code, couldn't you use it as a reference?
Still, probably better to get Petr's (and possibly directfb's) ok.

In some cases it does the wrong thing so I had to

Hi Andrew,
Yes, thanks!
Mattieu already told me.
It builds with gcc
it's also needed for mergedfb support on mga, although it could
probably be rewritten to not use HAL.

I'd be very unhappy to lose the HAL;
it helps a lot when getting a G550 to work with DVI monitors.
Some monitors work without it, but others just don't seem to work
unless I use mga_hal_drv.o
