+Bugs
+====
+
+I currently don't know of any bug. Please do send reports to:
+ - linux-fbdev-devel@lists.sourceforge.net
+ - Knut_Petersen@t-online.de.
+
+
+Untested features
+=================
+
+All LCD stuff is untested. If it worked in tridentfb, it should work in
+cyblafb. Please test and report the results to Knut_Petersen@t-online.de.

+Apollo PLE 133 Chipset VT8601A North Bridge Datasheet, Rev. 1.82, October 22,
+2001, available from VIA:
+
+	http://www.viavpsd.com/product/6/15/DS8601A182.pdf
+
+The datasheet is incomplete, some registers that need to be programmed are not
+explained at all and important bits are listed as "reserved". But you really
+need the datasheet to understand the code.  "p. xxx" comments refer to page
+numbers of this document.
+
+XFree/XOrg drivers are available and of good quality, looking at the code
+there is a good idea if the datasheet does not provide enough information
+or if the datasheet seems to be wrong.

+Speed
+=====
+
+CyBlaFB is much faster than tridentfb and vesafb. Compare the performance data
+for mode 1280x1024-[8,16,32]@61 Hz.
+
+Test 1: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 0 characters.
+Test 2: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 80 characters.
+Test 3: Cat a file with 2000 lines of 160 characters.
+
+All values show system time use in seconds, kernel 2.6.12 was used for
+the measurements. 2.6.13 is a bit slower, 2.6.14 hopefully will include a
+patch that speeds up kernel bitblitting a lot ( > 20%).

+TODO / Missing features
+=======================
+
+Verify LCD stuff		"stretch" and "center" options are
+				completely untested ... this code needs to be
+				verified. As I don't have access to such
+				hardware, please contact me if you are
+				willing run some tests.
+
+Interlaced video modes		The reason that interleaved
+				modes are disabled is that I do not know
+				the meaning of the vertical interlace
+				parameter. Also the datasheet mentions a
+				bit d8 of a horizontal interlace parameter,
+				but nowhere the lower 8 bits. Please help
+				if you can.
+
+low-res double scan modes	Who needs it?
+
+accelerated color blitting	Who needs it? The console driver does use color
+				blitting for nothing but drawing the penguine,
+				everything else is done using color expanding
+				blitting of 1bpp character bitmaps.
+
+xpanning			Who needs it?
+
+ioctls				Who needs it?
+
+TV-out				Will be done later
+
+???				Feel free to contact me if you have any
+				feature requests
