Yepp, it would be cool, to move every low level graphical operation to the framebuffer devices ... So no more 'I would like to use framebuffer console _AND_ X at the same time without disturbing each other' problem, and also if X segfaults or such, consolse will not remain in unusable state. Also a solid low level graphical operation layer should provide even 3D acceleration for fbdev capable (but not X!) apps and of course for the X server ... without conflicting each other :) DirectFB seems to be a good idea anyway ... - Gábor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
