Rejected. I have put thought into it and the whole point was to not allow the fbdev layer to touch console data. I stand firm on this!!! The reason being is the core console layer is going to change the next development cycle. We have to change to deal with things like the PC9800 type hardware that support more than 512 fonts. Do we realy want to break every fbdev driver again. This way the breakage is once and for all. Its is also a pandoras box. If we place these hooks in we end up with the same crappy driver problem we had before. I never heard anyone every say the old api we clean. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
