gma500 support #301

Closed hhartzer closed 1 month ago

Hi,

It'd be nice to be able to use Linux' gma500 driver on FreeBSD.

From what I understand, it's PowerVR-based. Includes GMA3600/GMA3650. Useful largely for older netbooks.

I have no idea what this would take to pull off, if it's relatively trivial or extremely difficult.

Could someone take a look and give me an idea? I don't mind helping do this if it seems like I might have some chance of success.

Thank you!

Unlikely to happen because : 1/ As you said it's for old hardware that no one really cares about 2/ It's GPL.

Closing.

  1. Isn't i915, and most of this, GPL? Curious if I'm wrong about that.

Thanks!
