Hi all,

I am working on 2430sdp.

I have gone through the sources of fbdev of git kernel.

I have these doubts please clarify me

1) lcd panels are registered through the function

  void omapfb_register_panel(struct lcd_panel *panel)
  If i want to make o/p as tv I have to configure VENC and
  use these lcd specific function??
  

2) Does omapfb_main.c is more inclined towards lcd panels?
   (I can see lot of functions and structures dealing with lcd)

 
If anybody has better idea how to add tvout support
in fbdev please help me.

Regards,
Arun c
