Maybe it would be even possible to slip the small kernel patch into
2.6.38-rc? It is rather a bugfix than a new feature.
Not really. The vblank ioctl never pretended to support more than 2
CRTCs, the bug is in the userspace code expecting that.
Ok, agreed, it's not really a kernel bug. Maybe i'm a bit too sneaky
and pushy here, because i had some "fun" with a 4 display system two
days ago.
But the change to the kernel is rather minimal and looks simple and
safe to me.
Anyway, the sooner this patch or a new ioctl goes in, the better.
best,
