1) the current ioctl one
Defunct.
2) the new stuff in sysfs. If the hardware cursor is there you get a sysfs attribute named cursor. write x,y to it to move the cursor around. I'll add the sysfs support as soon as we decide on the interface.
I was playing with that a bit.
I'm still at OLS. Missed seeing both of you at KS. fbdev was discussed and Linus went with Benh's proposal to move the modesetting API to user space. Obviously this will have a lot of impact on fbdev.
I don't have any money to go to such events :-( Looks like fbdev is going away completly :-< We will need embedded graphics libraries to boot a machine in the future. I seen this coming and thats why my motivation for development keeps dropping. I suggest they make a big diff to remove the whole system. ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
