Just for the `userfont` flag? Should we delete > `fontdata`, when we no longer need the `userfont` flag? Yes, after a quick look, I think your analysis here is correct. So if you can delete that, it would be nice if possible. > In this sense I think [5/5] needs more testing. Do we have test files > for fbcon, or should I try to write some tests from scratch? I don't know of any direct tests, I usually just booted into that mode and saw if everything looked like it did before. There must be some tool that you can use to change the current font, as it seems to happen at boot time on some distros. I can't remember what it's called at the moment... thanks, greg k-h _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
