Yes, i'm bound my XFree86 liscence, so I can't put up any source
unfortunately, although I may be able to put up a binary of the module
driver, I'll have to check if I need to put a timer on it though like we
used to.

You can always use XFree 4.0 with the fbdev driver as that ofcourse works
fine on all fbdev hardware. Granted it won't be accelerated, you'll be
able to have a "look-see" at 4.0 while the accelerated driver gets worked
on.
If the liscence allows me to release anything, i'll put it up in my dir at:
