[$] Resurrecting fbdev

The Linux framebuffer device (fbdev) subsystem has long languished insomething of a purgatory; it was listed as "orphaned" in theMAINTAINERS file and saw fairly minimal maintenance, mostly drivenby developers working elsewhere in the kernel graphics stack. That allchanged, in an eye-opening way, on January 17, when Linus Torvaldsmerged a changeto make Helge Deller the new maintainer of the subsystem. But it turns outthat the problems in fbdev run deep, at least according to much of the restof the kernel graphics community. By seeming to take on the maintainer role in order torevert the removal of some buggy features from fbdev, Deller has createdsomething of a controversy.
