Speaking for the Linaro graphics working group, I think it's great. And, I think you're right, that if enough of the KMS support in xf86-video-* is similar enough (I was only aware of intel and nouveau supporting it properly at current), pulling it out into a common layer would make it easier to support in new drivers (including fbdev). cheers, Jesse On Wed, Feb 16, 2011 at 4:22 AM, Arnd Bergmann [off-list ref] wrote:

I'd been experimenting a bit on the side w/ the DRM driver framework (http://gitorious.com/~robclark/pandaboard/robclarks-kernel-omap4/commits/omap_gpuquoted
), but had to add a good chunk of mostly boilerplate code to our xorg driver in order just to test it. Maybe some generic support for KMS in xf86-video-fbdev would have made this easier to develop the kernel part without in parallel having to implement the userspace part. I'm not sure if this is the sort of thing the linaro-wg has in mind?I'm not sure what the the linaro multimedia wg thinks of this, but the kernel code you linked looks like it's doing exactly the right thing.
