Is there a patch floating around for turning the core of fbdev into a module? Why isn't running fbdev as a module an option? It would make debugging fbdev core much simpler.I agree. Of course you would need either a graphics card boot from a non primary slot or work with serial console :-) Of course that opens alot of other issues with races. We have to look into it in depth.
I am using 2 graphics cards. I run X on the primary one and test DRM/fbdev on the secondary one. What would cause races? the base fb system is inactive unless you load something that uses it like fbconsole. Look in the patch I sent, the code for doing this is minor.
