I may have missed some discussions, but I'm objecting against this patch: b3ec8cdf457e5 ("fbdev: Garbage collect fbdev scrolling acceleration, part 1 (from TODO list)") Can we please (partly) revert it and restore the scrolling behaviour, where fbcon uses fb_copyarea() to copy the screen contents instead of redrawing the whole screen? I'm fine with dropping the ypan-functionality. Maybe on fast new x86 boxes the performance difference isn't huge, but for all old systems, or when emulated in qemu, this makes a big difference. Helge
