C&T 65548 fbdev driver
This is a framebuffer driver for the Linux 2.4.x kernel that supports the Chips&Technologies 65548 video chip found in older Toshiba Satellite notebooks and Fujitsu Point 510. There is also experimental support for 65545 and 65540 chipsets.

Due to fact that my trusty Satellite Pro 410CS has
recently broken down I'm unable to continue work on
this code without a test platform. If there is something
to fix or extend I'm afraid that you will have to do it on
your own. However I will happily answer to all questions
and comments.
Fortunately, this driver has reached a decent stage of
usability and quality so taking it over will be much
easier than writing it from scratch. Twice :).

Thanks, I have corrected project description.
Some even older notebooks have this chipset
The Toshiba Sattelite 115CS, 110CS, and 110CT notebooks also have this chipset. These are not Pro models!!!
