Hello. I have a question. I am using intelfb to get framebuffer console on Acer Extensa 5220 notebeook. (VGA Intel 965GM) In kernel 2.6.28.7 i must set video mode on boot with vga= param. Now I have discovered that in 2.6.29 kernel, there is support for kernel modesetting with gpu/drm/i915. Will this be joined with driver/video/intelfb ? So mode switch will work with simple fbdev IOCTL.? Like some cooperation between fbdev and gpu/drm? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Open Source Business Conference (OSBC), March 24-25, 2009, San Francisco, CA -OSBC tackles the biggest issue in open source: Open Sourcing the Enterprise -Strategies to boost innovation and cut costs with open source participation -Receive a $600 discount off the registration fee with the source code: SFAD http://p.sf.net/sfu/XcvMzF8H
