I think we need to implement both the old and new schemes and fallback to the old one if radeonfb is present. DRM also needs to add code marking resources in use which will also conflict with framebuffer. DRM needs to mark the resources when framebuffer isn't around to be compatible with hotplug. It would flow something like this: new style probe if (new probe has device) mark resources in use else do old style probe The framebuffer drivers that have DRM parallels need to implement the same code. That way it won't matter what order things get loaded. A second possibility would be to implement a tiny stub for just attaching to the PCI ID and resources. Then framebuffer and DRM could both share the stub. ===== Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
