These are the following drivers: - FB_CYBER - FB_VIRGE - FB_RETINAZ3 - FB_ATARI - FB_SUN3 - FB_PM3 Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future. But if anyone wants to ever revive any of these drivers, the code is still present in the older kernel releases.
