Or should it just have a single entry for legal combos? Good point. Looking at what things like MacOS do, I'd say fbmon provides a list to radeonfb, which filters it out and creates the "real" list. I think it's not time to do a full blown fbmon layer now, we need more experience with it and it's too late in the 2.6 process. I'll probably just keep fbmon as a pool of "utility" functions and do most from radeonfb (and aty128fb if I get a chance to port the i2c code) for now. One thing I'm hesitating to do is to dive into a driver split & rearchitecture now or not...
