If we apply this patch it will get very hard to support this with a KMS driver. So any reason why we cannot use the DRM FOURCC constants instead?
I don't see any. Maybe Stephen can confirm.
The dvbe proposal is available here: (also see the two following patches) http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/1302.2/00274.html it provides a simple DRM driver that uses VESA / VBE. I am currently trying to rework it to "SimpleDRM" which can support arbitrary firmware framebuffers.
Ok. I am personally fine with using FOURCC codes for describing video modes. Maybe we can just drop this patch if it gets in your way. Alex.
