This is great news! I was in a little over my head on this one. I spent about a day on the port in mid December and did all the easy stuff and got a grip of the porting process. But then I realized that I needed more info for the conversions and what not so I put it on hold over the holidays. I actually resumed work on the driver today and started comparing it to the via686a driver. Basically what I'm trying to say is that my port is almost non-existent (but I'll of course share any code).
