It is my understanding that this driver is available with and for some EP board only, and obviously not available for free. > apparently this question was asked before: > http://lists.linuxppc.org/linuxppc-embedded/200201/msg00164.html > and the answer was that its in the 2_4_devel tree, but I was unable to > find it in a recent snapshot of the tree (I'm unable to get the tree I haven't found anything either when I searched some time ago. > I'm looking for a driver for the video controller to output to an NTSC > encoder.

We have a video controller driver in our source tree (module linux-2.4 on our CVS server), see arch/ppc/8xx_io/video823.c Note: the code relies on some initialization performed by the U-Boot boot loader, and it has never been tested yet with NTSC. But it should be a starting point at least. And yes, it is a true framebuffer driver, although it uses the awkward YUYV video mode format only. Hope this helps.
