David, I'm not sure what the current status of linux-solo/fbdri is, but there are several drivers that are probably even simpler - for instance the driver in mesa/drivers/fbdev. If you scan through the source in that directory you should get an idea how small a driver can be. The fbdri is a demonstration of a software-only driver which happens to live within a framework designed for acclerated drivers. The focus of recent development has definitely been the DRI drivers, but it shouldn't be forgotten that the historical mesa drivers are exactly targetted towards the sort of dumb framebuffer device you are describing, and the easiest way to get one is still going to be by looking at one of those old-style drivers. Ugh. I've just had a quick check and the fbdev driver hasn't been brought up to speed with recent changes either (including build changes)... I'll see if I can't get it running again later tonight.

linux-solo & fb-dri
Hello, My project is to get opengl/mesa on an embedded arm7. I am trying to begin with the linux-solo build and the simplest driver which seems to be the fb-dri. Unfortunately it does not compile. Do any of you have information about the current status of this driver? Ideally, I would like to modify things enough to get a software only build without any OS dependencies (i.e. just dump data to a psuedo-framebuffer). Thanks for your help.
