I asked this a week or two back. It seems as if the s3 stuff in > the kernel is ppc specific (but maybe someone can tune it a little) and According to Geert, the S3triofb driver needs the video mode setup to by some other code; According to Jon, the KGI S3 driver works without prior setup stuff. Maybe the KGI S3 setup code could be ported into the S3triofb driver? [preferably by someone with both intimate knowledge of the video code and free time] After that, the S3trio driver might still need some endianness porting, but possibly that's just a minor nuisance instead of real trouble.
