And while the hope for fbdev is that it will be phased out V4L2 will stay around for a while. And we probably want to have a common API that can take care of both DRM and V4L so we do not need two sets of helper functions for things like EDID parsing etc. - Lars _______________________________________________ dri-devel mailing list dri-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/dri-devel
