Subject: Re: PATCH: move soft_cursor into fbconsole
Date: Fri, 1 Jul 2005 20:56:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <9e473391050701175679f468ff@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Another way to think of this, let's make another member variable
.fb_hwcursor. When the driver has a hardware cusor is sets
.fb_hwcursor. If you want to use the software cursor use the exisiting
.fb_cursor.

If you think about it every driver is going to have the exact same
assignment .fb_cursor = soft_cursor. If every driver is going to have
exactly the same assignment, why do we need the variable?

It's the existence of the hardware cursor that varies from driver to
driver, that's the one we need the variable for.
