But we are rendering to draw fonts, clearing a area of the screen,copyarea.
If we are to have a universal solution it needs to OpenGL. Either that or 
mode switching stays in the kernel.  

Drawing fonts have _NOTING_ to do with mode switching ! Don't tell me
that you can't make the difference between fbdev and fbcon now ;)

That is not what I'm saying. I'm sayimng we could use opengl to draw the 
fonts in fbcon. Opengl coudl be the center piece library that does 
everything.

Speaking of bloat in the kernel. When will the crypto and TCP/IP stack be 
moved to userspace. The networking code alone is over 17 megs in size. 
Bloat bloat bloat. 

That has nothing to do with it. If you don't agree, come to KS or OLS
and talk to Linus. Your arguments & comparisons are pointless

I think I'm going to have to.
