Crimi) on a TGA driver for FreeBSD, and I have a somewhat preliminary but nearly fully-functional driver available (there are a definite few rough edges, though). The following are known working features: * works for TGA rev B amd C and TGA2 (VGA-mode) cards * text works (and is relatively fast) * X works (although there is still a problem with vty switching from/to X) * text-mode vty-switching works * blank and green screensavers work * mouse (including full cut-and-paste) works (highlighted text does not work) I have tried unsuccessfuly to get it committed by various people (this is not a slam on them, as I know that everybody on the team is very busy), and I have less time to play with the driver now than I would like, so I would like to offer the code (and project) over to anyone who has the time, interest, or inclination to take it on... I can provide a gzipp'ed tarball and diff file to anyone upon request (sorry--I don't have a website to dangle it from)--the source is a bit out of date, but new files in the gzipp'ed tarball shouldn't depend on any other code changes, and pre-existing files are in diff-format so that they should be relatively easy to bring up-to-date...
