Well, I am just managing what others contribute. And I try to keep it from becoming
incompatible to latest kernel trees.

Looks very interesting.

But PVR Rogue (Version 6) is successor of PVRSGX (Version 5xx). Unfortunately
there isn't much information to even be able to assess if they have anything in common
except the company name. And, without matching user space code it is difficult to
make anything useful out of either.

What did not became clear is if they even want to attempt to support PVRSGX with
their driver or only Rogue and newer ones (from a company's perspective this is
the most likely scenario).

But generally the work by Sarah Walker is very welcome! Maybe it can give more
structure to everything.

Best regards,
Nikolaus
