ugh
My argument is that this shouldnt be done the usual opensource way 'someone else will fix my shit'. Instead, the driver authors should notice their mistakes right away.
I will certainly not maintain the ancient driver in current 2.6 vanilla. This is a framebuffer driver and like all fbdev-related stuff it is properly maintained in the fbdev-tree, waiting to merged into mainline.

Since James seems busy, someone should step up, split these changes into patches, test (or let people test) them separately and submit to kernel. Of course in coordination with James, he knows hat should be stable and what not. I would take this myself by have not enough time.

That sounds a little like "Linus is busy, let someone else quickly hop in"... :)
The fbdev tree is quite well tested AFAIK, and I am sure James will respond soon. He can't be too busy, as he was working on the tree yesterday.

Indeed. James said he was going to submit the patches after he has fixed a critical problem with the soft cursor code.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
