If you did not define fb_set_var at all, then info->disp.dispsw must
point to valid console drawing hooks before you register the
framebuffer.  (Actually, all fields in struct display must be valid
before you register the framebuffer)

The next set of change should help reduce these problems of missing
pointers as we move to the new api.

So, does the cfb_xxx generic accel stuff get linked correctly when
building as modules or am i missing something ?

You're correct, the neofb line in the Makefile is for static building
only.  The cfb_xxx will not compile as modules, yet.  If your driver has
its own Makefile, just add cfb_xxx.o objects to directly link to them.

In the next set of changes the cfb* files should be able to be built as
modules!!!!

The ones in the patches you failed to send or the one thereafter ?

BTW, do you think the latest set of changes will be in 2.4.46 or
something such ?

Friendly,
