James, if you are really worried about our patch to move softcursor
into fbcon, why don't we put it into the -mm tree for a month without
moving it to the main kernel and see if anyone complains.

I am definitely of the belief that since softcursor can only be used
by fbcon then it should be moved into fbcon and all support for it be
dropped from fbdev. We can't leave the code as is since it interferes
with the use of the hardware cursors from user space.

I just don't think this patch is as complex as you are making it out
to be. It is large simply because the same action has been repeated
for each of the 65 drivers. The action is only a simple deletion of
two lines.

I'm not arguing over this. What is wrong with breaking this patch up!!!!!
I still have no answer to this!!!! I'm using the hardware flag because
sometimes the driver that does have a hardware cursor wants to turn
support off for it.

Set  .fb_cursor = NULL; to turn off the support.
