Yeah - but with this in user-space one can keep this code disabled in the kernel. Also the user-space code can mode set and this uvesafb thing with user-space mode-set helper is way too ugly for my taste. I'd rather have it all in a single user-space (Xvesa) in that case (of tiny, unaccelerated graphic needs). But well, I can still keep maintain an old copy of the code now that upstream/mainline decided to drop it, ... -- René Rebe - ExactCODE GmbH - Europe, Germany, Berlin http://exactcode.de | http://t2-project.org | http://rene.rebe.name _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
