Hello everyone, as posted previously, I'm on the way to writing a driver for DisplayLink devices. Unfortunately, I'm a bit at a loss on where to start. I've noticed that it seems pretty easy to write a framebuffer driver and run an X server with fbdev on top of that.
However, as the DisplayLink devices are connected through the USB bottleneck which makes even plain PCI look blazingly fast by comparision, I'm not sure whether that approach would throw away a lot of optimization potential, like storing pixmaps in unused areas of the video memory. Can somebody please give me some hints? Where should that kind of optimization happen, in the driver?
