Is there a repository for the SimpleFB drivers[the DRI driver and the plain

Which drivers are you exactly talking about? Do you have links to the
patches? There're several independent projects called "simplefb". If
you're talking about the simplefb fbdev driver, it's developed
upstream and available since linux-3.10 (linux-fbdev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ML). SimpleDRM is developed on this list and still experimental.
There're no "upstream" repositories just for the drivers. Patches on
the ML is all there is.
Thanks, it was both of those I was looking for[the one that has been
upstreamed and the DRI one]
I want to use simplefb and the USB webcam gadget to create a USB display
solution - similar to DisplayLink but entirely opensource.
The UVC standard supports streaming in framebuffer mode - and some of
the standard transmission methods have compression options - as well as
allowing for 'vendor defined' formats - so rather than having to reverse
engineer proprietary displaylink compression methods - I prefer to use a
complete open source solution.
simplefb looks like a good fit since it allows me to define the memory
region for the framebuffer to use - so if I can initialize that in the
videobuffer it cuts down on memory copies.
