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.

Recent releases


Changes: PCI support has been added.


Changes: A bug related to incorrect colors for accelerated console in 16bpp mode have been fixed. The hardware cursor no longer messes up the screen with the X11 fbdev driver.


Changes: The driver has been rewritten from scratch. It now supports 800x600 and 640x480 modes in both 8 and 16 bit color depths. You can switch between them during runtime. You can toggle acceleration and alter the pixel clock rate. Most important of all, there is now a penguin on boot.


Changes: A 16bpp mode problem related to APM suspend was fixed.


Changes: 16bpp mode is finally usable (does not flicker on the LCD). A problem with scrolling the screen when using an 8x8 font has been fixed. FBI tool no longer destroys the hardware cursor image.

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!!!
