My suggestion is just to take the qxl code, move it to the fbdev emulation helper, make it generic and use it. If you want you can do a compile-tested patch on top to switch qxl over to the newly added helpers. No need to install/run qxl itself. Just that qxl seems to have the most complete solution for what you need. -Daniel -- Daniel Vetter Software Engineer, Intel Corporation http://blog.ffwll.ch _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
