Maybe a better name would be dfb/hwaccel_disable or something such, i thought the all-cap names had been dropped, but i could be wrong. > echo "no-hardware" >>/etc/directfbrc > else > for driver in $BAD_LIST; do > if [ $(dmesg|grep $driver |wc -w) -gt 0 ];then I am not sure if dmesg + grep + wc is the best way to do this, but i also don't know how to best map the /proc/fb entries to module names, but we have this one, as well as : /sys/bus/pci/drivers/radeonfb/0000\:00\:10.0/graphics\:fb0 Which needs a 2.6 kernel though, but i don't think we are building 2.4 graphical d-i anyway.
