I meant make it into two separate device drivers, not just split the files. Then the user could load base+DRI, base+FB or base+FB+DRI. This would minimize the RAM footprint and let the DRI people avoid the problem of mapping the framebuffer into kernel space.
Well, what would base do then ? You can only set modes etc... by beeing an fbdev, and if you are an fbdev you have to map something for fbcon... What would 'base' be without all of this ? just the PCI probing ?
