Re: XF68_FBDev under MkLinux?

  2. Adopt XF68_FBdev so it can use the MkLinux video mode ioctl stuff. This
     requires no kernel changes. In XF68_FBDev, the video ioctl and mmap stuff
     has to be changed slightly.

I think the second solution is the least amount of work.

Agreed.

Another thing is keyboard and mouse (ADB) handling. Xpmac uses the plain
/dev/adb device, while XF68_FBDev takes the standard Linux keyboard input and
uses the adbmouse driver. I assume keyboard won't be a problem. But the mouse
requires the adbmouse driver.

Mark Hatle ported /dev/adbmouse to mklinux last february. It wasn't
available in DR3 but I believe that it's available in the GENERIC
mklinux kernels.
