 Thats a matter for the X server driver modules. If DRM provides it then
 don't ask for it from the vblank code. In the case of framebuffer the
 same can be said.

Nothing prevents one app from using the DRM interface, another the
framebuffer device and yet another the generic vblank one, and at most
one of them will work as expected in that case.

It needs some further work yet but Soeren has mostly fixed the mess I
made

 I definitely don't mind if you want to do the work for me :-).

Some test code in the 2.4.22-ac1 tree now. I've switched the logic
around a little and also set it up so that you can open then bind to
the card you want and multiple opens selecting multiple cards work. 
I need to fix multiple opens of same card yet.

Its not currently keeping timestamps as I wasn't clear if those were
also needed.
