Please give me the exact link so I may see that the correct URL is
mentioned. Or better send the maintainer a mail yourself, that he should
correct it.

As much as I know the only description is within the
"Linux/Documentation/fb" itself. For more info you have to ask in the
mailing list. BTW the old website can be view at
"http://linux-fbdev.sourceforge.net/old", if you find some useful
material there just say so, so the can be made available again.

It would be nice if a reference would be put onto the web but so far
nobody voluntiered to do it. Would you?
