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

The question is whether we should add a module parameter switching
off
quoted
quoted
the automatic adaption of the resolution as there might be use cases
where we don't want this feature.
I think for those who doesn't want this resolution there is
still a possibility to change it on backend's XenbusStateConnected
So, no need for module parameter, IMO
Fine.

I'll send V3 soon.
How about you do the axis adjustment from userspace (udev rule), and leave kernel as is?


Thanks.
