Malcolm Caldwell is working on an oms plugin for the Margi, but I haven't
heard from him in a while.
FYI, I am currently working on getting ZV running. The first step will
be to try it with the Notebook I have here. It has a Ricoh 5c478
PCMCIA Controller and an ATI mobility graphics chip. I already made
some changes in the pcmcia_cs drivers to turn on the Ricohs ZV
support, this should also be possible for other chips. Now, I want to
see if the ATI card can be switched into ZV mode. My hope is that I
can work with the livid-ati sources and use Xv to display the ZV
picture.
