CT65550 / chipsfb driver status...

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.

Cheers,

Laz
