Seems like few people read linux-fbdev these days.How much traffic is there to linux-fbdev that is *not* Cc'd to dri-devel also?Doesn't seem like much traffic - which IMHO is OK for such a tree with mostly just maintenance patches.quoted
Do we still need a separate linux-fbdev mailing list at all?Yes. I want to have it seperate of dri-devel. Actually I'd prefer to drop dri-devel from the list where patches for fbdev are sent...Disagreed. If anything, this thread shows we can't have fbdev and drm in silos of their own.
Unless DRM drops fbdev support. Isn't that the long-term plan anyway?
