A month or two ago I noticed that the framebuffer console driver doesn't know to do proper framebuffer acceleration in Linux 2.6; I've implemented a solution Geert suggested where each framebuffer driver advertizes its hardware capabilities via fb_info->flags. Please apply to -mm so I can get wider testing. The patches are at: http://www.yak.net/random/fbdev-patches/accel-cap-take2/relative2mainline/ The core of these patches is enabling the use of the following flags: +/* FBIF = FB_Info.Flags */ +#define FBIF_MODULE 0x0001 /* Low-level driver is a module */
Ug. You changed that. Could that remain the same. I have a patch coming that fixes the mode setting. It changes alot of the core fbcon.c so I will apply your patch to the fbdev-2.5 tree.
