Ok, good. I'll investigate adapting that to radeonfb & aty128fb
at least.
Also, It would be very useful if we defined a standard ioctl to
retreive the EDID block from userland when available.
This would help some fbdev based apps (especially the maconlinux
emulator) and would be useful for some distro X autoconfig tools,
especially on platforms where X cannot get that EDID via it's
current mecanisms.
Actually, I would like 2 things:
- Be able to know that the display has been detected as beeing a
TFT panel, and in this case, a "simple" way to retreive the
fb_var_screeninfo of the "native" panel mode.
- Returning the full EDID block when it exist
What do you think about adding some ioctl's for that ?
Ben.
