Wouldn't it make more sense to extend the current framebuffer driver support to support v-sync? (framebuffers are already in the kernel, and there were so many security holes with svgalib-based programs that it left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths) And having gotten a v-sync interrupt, what would you *do* with it? You'll need an API here.... --==_Exmh_1127369215_2825P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFDMkn/cC3lWbTT17ARAtAcAKCIuuHQVPpJVljBn5josVQSmGUKsgCeIDF3 KiRe63QE3rCENQLTsBNYKO4= =Oil2 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1127369215_2825P-- - 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/
