Instead of using the default resolution of 800*600 for the pointing
device of xen-kbdfront try to read the resolution of the (virtual)
framebuffer device. Use the default as fallback only.

This still will not help if FB gets registered after kbd+ptr
Hmm, so you think I should add a call to fb_register_client() to get
events for new registered framebuffer devices?
yes, but also pay attention to CONFIG_FB_NOTIFY: you may still
end up w/o notification.
Okay, that's not worse than today.

This would probably work. I'll have a try.


Thanks,

My bigger concern here is that we try to tie keyboard and pointer device
to the framebuffer. IMO, these are independent parts of the system and
the relation
depends on the use-case. One can have graphics enabled w/o framebuffer
at all, e.g.
DRM/KMS + OpenGLES + Weston + kbd + ptr...
Again: that's a use case which will work as today. The current defaults
are being used.

The question is whether we should add a module parameter switching off
the automatic adaption of the resolution as there might be use cases
where we don't want this feature.
