fbdev: remove cyblafb driver
A tridentfb driver has all the functionality of the cyblafb driver without
the bugs of the latter.
Changes to the tridentfb driver:
- FBINFO_READS_FAST added to the tridentfb. The cyblafb used a blitter
for scrolling which is faster than color expansion on Cyberblade
chipsets. The blitter is slower on a discrete Blade3D core. Use the
blitter for scrolling in the tridentfb only for integrated Blade3D
cores. Now, scrolling speed is about equal for the tridentfb and the
cyblafb.
- a copyright notice addition is done on request of Jani Monoses (the
first author of the tridentfb).
Tested on AGP Blade3D card and PCChips
M787CLR motherboard: VIA C3 cpu +
VT8601 north bridge (aka Cyberblade/i1).

1 | TODO / Missing features | ||
2 | ======================= | ||
3 | |||
4 | Verify LCD stuff "stretch" and "center" options are | ||
5 | completely untested ... this code needs to be | ||
6 | verified. As I don't have access to such | ||
7 | hardware, please contact me if you are | ||
8 | willing run some tests. | ||
9 | |||
10 | Interlaced video modes The reason that interleaved | ||
11 | modes are disabled is that I do not know | ||
12 | the meaning of the vertical interlace | ||
13 | parameter. Also the datasheet mentions a | ||
14 | bit d8 of a horizontal interlace parameter, | ||
15 | but nowhere the lower 8 bits. Please help | ||
16 | if you can. | ||
17 | |||
18 | low-res double scan modes Who needs it? | ||
19 | |||
20 | accelerated color blitting Who needs it? The console driver does use color | ||
21 | blitting for nothing but drawing the penguine, | ||
22 | everything else is done using color expanding | ||
23 | blitting of 1bpp character bitmaps. | ||
24 | |||
25 | ioctls Who needs it? | ||
26 | |||
27 | TV-out Will be done later. Use "vga= " at boot time | ||
28 | to set a suitable video mode. | ||
29 | |||
30 | ??? Feel free to contact me if you have any | ||
31 | feature requests | ||
