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 ?
