The following are my currently available patches for the Neomagic framebuffer (neofb) driver in the linux kernel. The original patches were made against the 2.6.5 kernel. I subsequently became aware of James Simmons' current patch for the same driver (available at http://phoenix.infradead.org:~/jsimmons/neofb.diff.gz), and have updated the patches to apply cleanly to this version of the driver as well. The following table lists all of my currently available patches for either the stock linux kernel (2.6.5) or James Simmons' patched driver (jsimmons).
(4/23/04) Update: Several of my patches here have now been included in James' driver patch (still available from the same URL above). The patches which are now included are listed in the table below as "included".

The following issues still require some work (I'm currently looking into them)..
