I don't know the kdrive model enough yet to say how something more complete would get hooked up. Keith's been saying he doesn't want complex mode setting code in kdrive drivers generally, but I would like to see the driver be more complete somehow. The idea of a userland mode-setting library which could be shared by various things that want to be setting video modes (standalone mesa, xserver, perhaps even XFree86 some day) sounds appealing to me, but I haven't dealt with that code at all so I don't know how it would be done / how much shared code there would be. -- Eric Anholt [email protected] http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ [email protected]
