Dear Daniel,

many thanks,

yes, should be quite easy to do as you mentioned, but requires minimal
changes in the kernel, and i must keep the unofficial changes stored
here locally with the current tree.

Of course, i can send a patch to the list, but i am using kernel 2.6.x.
and also not sure it can be useful to anyone except me, so easy to be
unaccepted.

For this reasons, my idea is to setup 2 or 3 ioctl's at driver level:

- one to get memory address (direct memory map)
- one to update all the screen
- one to update a specific surface area

What do you think is better ?

Best Regards,
Angelo
