- fbmem.c is responsible for managing the lifetime of the fb_info structure, and the lifetime of the driver-private data is equal to the lifetime of the fb_info structure.
This is not always the case. For dual headed graphics cards you can have two struct fb_info and one driver-private data. If the fbdev driver releases one framebuffer you still have one framebuffer left that is using the driver-private data. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf
