This would include first cleaning up of current state, then trying to optimise 2D ops and display updates because it was found these are currently quite slow. (Especially when using 8bit or 16bit screen modes as AmigaOS does where every screen update does pixel format conversion with a simple loop in a suboptimal way. Maybe we can use more optimal pixman routines for these.) We have found while merging previous patches that the status of sm501 is not clear. It was originally part of SH emulation added for the R2D board but now it's also used by PPC sam460ex board (and can be used with mac99 as well to run MorphOS that does not yet boot on sam460ex). David Gibson, the PPC maintainer has indicated that he can't review changes to this device and it is not really related to PPC so the practice of merging sm501 patches via his PPC tree is not preferred. So before sending more patches I'd like to clear who can review and merge patches for sm501 in the future and what is the maintainership of this device? Regards, BALATON Zoltan
