[PATCH 00/18] Xfbdev Atari and Amiga support

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

This patch series revives some of the support for Atari and Amiga that existed
in XF68_FBDev, but got lost after XFree86 3.x.

Generic:
  - All non-packed frame buffer layouts use shadowfb, and fast "c2" for
    chunky-to-planar conversion.
  - As the KDrive "keyboard" driver is broken, you have to use evdev instead.
  - 4 bpp is of limited use with modern clients, as e.g. GdkRgb doesn't support
    4 bpp color. gdkRgb does support 4 bpp grayscale, so you may want to force
    the visual to grayscale.
  - I haven't benchmarked it yet against XF68_FBDev 3.6, but it's unusable slow
    on my Amiga 4000/040, even for just moving the mouse pointer. May be due to
    excessive TLS syscalls with recent glibc. It is usable on ARAnyM on Intel
    Core 2 Quad.

Status on Atari:
  - 1 bpp, 4 bpp, and 8 bpp now work (16 bpp already worked before, as it's a
    packed mode)
  - 2 bpp is not yet supported. It's of limited use anyway due to the low
    number of colors.

Status on Amiga:
  - 1 bpp, 4 bpp, and 8 bpp now work.
  - 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 bpp are not yet supported. 5 and 6 bpp may be useful as
    they improve Chip RAM access for the CPU, compared to 8 bpp.
  - The keyboard map is messed up, even with
    "-keybd evdev,,device=/dev/input/event0,xkbmodel=amiga"

Sample invocation:

    Xfbdev -keybd evdev,,device=/dev/input/event0 \
           -mouse evdev,,device=/dev/input/event1 [ -cc grayscale ]

However, all of them (except for the first one, which is Debian-specific)
apply to current xorg-server.git.
