All,

   I had been working for the past year or so (with much help from Drew 
Gallatin, Peter Jeremy, and Thomas V. 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out of date, but new files in the gzipp'ed tarball shouldn't depend on 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...

Sincerely,
Andrew Miklic
