Re: [Linux-fbdev-devel] [PATCH] [git tree] Intel i9xx support for intelfb

[Sylvain Meyer <sylvain.meyer@worldonline.fr>]

       Sorry for my very long silence.

For i2c support. I've done it to have a workable tv-out on my hardware. 
It was the main reason  why i ported the driver to kernels 2.6 as i use 
my computer as a set-top-box only connected to a tv. I've it on my own 
tree (very old).
I can send you the code. I did it in a way not accepted by kernel 
reviewers as my tv driver (for chrontel ch7011 chipset) is all in kernel 
space. But it can be a base for a better scheme.

Regards
Sylvain
