addon:

- the driver  has issues - see http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9689
- after digging out author's recent email on the net and asking him, he confirmed, \
that he doesen`t maintain it anymore. he lost his hga hardware in 2001. also see \
bugzilla entry.

furthermore:

> hgafb: probe of hgafb.0 failed with error -22
> Device 'hgafb.0' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be \
>                 fixed.
> WARNING: at drivers/base/core.c:107 device_release()

as that bug hasn't been touched since january and kernel telling that it`s broken, i \
think it also should  depend on BROKEN.
