What does this thing even do? Quick grep says qxl and vmwgfx also use this, but it's not documented anywhere, and it's also not done with any piece of common code. Which all looks really fishy. I think we need to do a bit of refactoring/documenting here first. Also in principle, userspace needs to look at everything in the connector again when it gets a hotplug event. We do have hotplug events for specific properties nowadays, but those are fairly new. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch
