Just a thought, but what do you think about splitting radeonfb into two peices? Sort of like the way this Rage128 driver is split, http://www.saftware.de/. First piece does PCI IDs, EDID, mode setting, command parsing, maybe hardware cursor. Second does fbcon support such as mapping fb to kernel space, fb accels, etc. My idea is that this model could evolve over time into having a base driver for each card, and then the FB or DRI drivers would plug into the base. This would provide a common place to put locking and state saving code. ===== Jon Smirl jonsmirl@yahoo.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
