As I was the one who pointed you to this list I think I should answer this:
If you woul like to do driver work there is a list of drivers which are little maintained at the moment. This list incudes: i740 i810 rendition tseng cirrus (alpine and laguna) s3 (not s3Virge or savage) silicon motion (I don't know who currently maintains the i128 and r128) Of those listed above the last three - especially the silicon motion - are the most importand ones. If you'd like to you can pick one of those and play with them. This of course depends on which HW is available to you. Egbert.
