I would like to hear your opinions about the patchset below (updated version compared to yesterday, lkml added to the CC list).Can you just blast these pictures from userspace? There's really no excuse to advertise SPEs from kernel.... What's next, I have powerful Intel graphics chipset in here, perhaps it is as powerful as SPE, shall I start adding little pictures for its pipelines?By the same token, there is no excuse to have the logo code at all in the kernel in the first place... it's cool though :-) And it's a config option, so you don't have to have it....
True. Of course we would need a userland interface to splash a logo. I found the logo to be useful to know if the graphics device is alive and working properly. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
