Yuck!! Using fbcon for text modes is just bloat. For hardware text mode it is much better to write a nice small console driver like newport_con.c > could decide on case-by-case basis whether it will use its own code or > generic without touching pointer (without modifying potentially constant > fb_ops structure common to all fbdev instances). The patch was rejected. I working on your driver. I can throw in a text mode driver as well. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
