+	vt8623fb - fbdev driver for graphics core in VIA VT8623 chipset
+	===============================================================
+
+
+Supported Hardware
+==================
+
+	VIA VT8623 [CLE266] chipset and	its graphics core
+		(known as CastleRock or Unichrome)
+
+I tested vt8623fb on VIA EPIA ML-6000
+
+
+Supported Features
+==================
+
+	*  4 bpp pseudocolor modes (with 18bit palette, two variants)
+	*  8 bpp pseudocolor mode (with 18bit palette)
+	* 16 bpp truecolor mode (RGB 565)
+	* 32 bpp truecolor mode (RGB 888)
+	* text mode (activated by bpp = 0)
+	* doublescan mode variant (not available in text mode)
+	* panning in both directions
+	* suspend/resume support
+	* DPMS support
+
+Text mode is supported even in higher resolutions, but there is limitation to
+lower pixclocks (maximum about 100 MHz). This limitation is not enforced by
+driver. Text mode supports 8bit wide fonts only (hardware limitation) and
+16bit tall fonts (driver limitation).
+
+There are two 4 bpp modes. First mode (selected if nonstd == 0) is mode with
+packed pixels, high nibble first. Second mode (selected if nonstd == 1) is mode
+with interleaved planes (1 byte interleave), MSB first. Both modes support
+8bit wide fonts only (driver limitation).
+
+Suspend/resume works on systems that initialize video card during resume and
+if device is active (for example used by fbcon).
+
+
+Missing Features
+================
+(alias TODO list)
+
+	* secondary (not initialized by BIOS) device support
+	* MMIO support
+	* interlaced mode variant
+	* support for fontwidths != 8 in 4 bpp modes
+	* support for fontheight != 16 in text mode
+	* hardware cursor
+	* video overlay support
+	* vsync synchronization
+	* acceleration support (8514-like 2D, busmaster transfers)
+
+
+Known bugs
+==========
+
+	* cursor disable in text mode doesn't work
