linux-toradex.git/drivers/video/fbdev/Makefile, branch master Linux kernel for Apalis and Colibri modules fbdev: remove Hercules monochrome ISA graphics adapter driver 2026-05-20T18:23:32+00:00 Ethan Nelson-Moore enelsonmoore@gmail.com 2026-05-03T04:56:34+00:00 37a91b995952a556a6eb90c31736ee773b86999c The hgafb driver supports graphics adapters compatible with the Hercules adapter from 1984. These were ISA cards or onboard devices that supported monochrome 720x348 graphics. This driver was created in 1999 by Ferenc Bakonyi. In the entire Git history (since Linux 2.6.12-rc2), there has only been one commit in 2010 which indicated that the driver was in use, commit 529ed806d454 ("video: Fix the HGA framebuffer driver"). The commit message states: Only tested with fbcon, since most fbdev-based software appears to only support 12bpp and up. It does not appear that this driver has worked for at least the entire 2.6.x series, perhaps since 2002. Given the age and limited capabilities of the hardware and the lack of users, remove this driver and move the former maintainer to CREDITS.
