Ironically (and certainly slowly), the KGI project design has only started to advance in the kernel when the project itself faded away to a stop (around 2001).
I am happy anyway.
What would make me even more happy would be technical sheets publication about all these new graphic chipsets. Do you know of any?

Tomi was talking about the TI OMAP SoC, whose Technical Reference Manuals are freely available to all and sundry, and contain a description of (and programming information for) the entire display pipeline apart from the 3D accelerator.

I was also a happy KGI user in 90's. A real framebuffer provided a much nicer console (larger resolution & more text, higher frequency & less flicker etc) and the code was nicely structured into drivers for different parts in gfx cards and if I remember right, it was also documented. I was *really* disappointed when it failed to get into kernel despite several efforts.
