    [PATCH] USB: sisusb[vga] update · 1bbb4f20

    here is a new and extended version of the sisusbvga (previously: sisusb)
    driver. The patch is against 2.6.13 and updates the driver to version 0.0.8.
    
    Additions include complete VGA/EGA text console support and a build-in
    display mode infrastructure for userland applications that don't know
     about the graphics internals.
    
    Fixes include some BE/LE issues and a get/put_dev bug in the previous
    version.
    
    Other changes include a change of the module name from "sisusb" to
    "sisusbvga". The previous one was too generic IMHO.
    
    Please note that the patch also affects the Makefile in
    drivers/video/console as the driver requires the VGA 8x16 font in case
    the text console part is selected.
    
    Heavily tested, as usual. Please apply.
    
    One thing though: I already prepared for removal of the "mode" field and
    the changed "name" field in the usb_class_driver structure. This will
    perhaps need some refinement depending on whether you/Linus merge the
    respective core changes before or after 2.6.14.
