Currently you cannot use the fbdev ioctrl to change modes/settings to the framebuffer which is probably the only restriction... It seems to me a rather extreme measure though, given we could fix the situation rather easily. But I am ok to remove the fbdev driver, if that is what we want. -- Stefan _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
