Did you get anywhere with this Ben?
Not yet. Maybe tomorrow or Saturday. I simply haven't worked on it yet.
How close are the variable bit width drivers to being usable (I'm assuming
they're the bogl-tcfb and bogl-pcfb drivers)?
They don't work now? I haven't tested them (they're by ####@####.####
not me), but I can now that I have matroxfb set up on my main machine.
Also, am I right in thinking that the VGA16 will still require a
separate driver due to it's non-linear architecture (which would
also seem to be why GGI won't work on top of it)?
Yes. I'm not sure what pixmap format I'll use for it yet; probably
interleaved planes. I think that's the most hardware-efficient way to
blit the bits.
