I was looking for some closed userspace libs, but couldn't find any. Looks like all the magic is contained within reg_bits.h and regs.h.

Yes, Intel 2700G != Omap 2420, but I do believe that the source code should be fairly compatible with some tweaking. Anyone want to support me/shoot me down?

I attached the source for those that don't want to download the 2 Gigs of Android source (cool stuff though).

Well spotted Jon,

However, there is no interaction with the powervr chip within this driver.

this driver code is for the 2d normal framebuffer.
This is equivalent to the already open omapfb.c

however, the "mbxdebugfs.c" file might have something, but it looks no more than test probing.
