   I just came to add the readpixel() to the bogl-tcfb and bogl-pcfb drivers,

   difference is in the way the two modes are handled. It turns out that 
   apart from the naming differences, about 99% of the code is exactly the
   same. Is it planned to diverge the two further in future for optimisation
   reasons, or would it be a better idea to combine them into one driver?

I'm not sure what dhd@debian.org had in mind.  I'll try to take a look
today or tomorrow.  I'm sure that it would be fine to combine them if
it wouldn't mean a big performance hit.
