Ok I understand.
FWIW, based on my trials:
* DirectFB support on BE hosts is somehow easier than with
carminefb: the patches from Nikita Egorov are working almost out
of the box (they basically change every single access to memory so
that it becomes ABGR, so that a simple memcpy to/from Carmine
memory is already the right alignment. I don't know if it would be
working without these patches on kernel >2.6.26 (with
FOREIGN_ENDIAN defines) since I'm currently stuck to a vanilla
2.6.24.6
* However, DirectFB has some troubles with panning, which is working
using a different approach by myself: I'll check it and see if
it's worth posting here.
* 800x600 resolution is supported if I try [EMAIL PROTECTED] before
trying [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank you,

What about the mb86290 framebuffer driver directly from Fujitsu which is

This mb86290 framebuffer driver from Fujitsu isn't in mainline, it
is in the DENX Linux Kernel tree.
It's from 2003 and supports only until 86293, but can it be used as a
basis for a proper fb driver? It has a lot of features indeed...
I think it won't be accepted in mainline. It was developed for 2.4
Kernel and slightly modified for 2.6. These features could be added
to the new driver which is intended to provide initial support for
Fujitsu GDCs in mainline now.
