Hi, What is the current status of the driver for the Chips and Technologies 65550 chipset? I can only find mentions of it from a couple of years back with regard to a new version of the driver (links to that driver no longer work). I have recently acquired a Keycorp K57 LCD monitor with a dedicated graphics card based on the CT65550 chip, and I'm hoping to get this working as a basic framebuffer device. I believe the current driver only works on PPC architecture but with a bit of tweaking, I managed to compile the chipsfb module on the ix86 machine containing the card. Is this ever likely to work?! Is it likely to work with the VESA driver? At present, I cannot even see the card with lspci, although I'm not convinced that it is seated correctly: have yet to check on that.
