I didn't read through the code yet, is this being
implemented by adding some new IOCTLs to the fb
interface? For example an IOCTL to get the legal modes
or to reset the card.
Why does it need /dev/vm86, couldn't it just use the
fb device and add some new IOCTLS?
I would expect to the end user app to only interact
with the /dev/fb, it would be unaware of the daemon.
This would allow these functions to be transparently
added to the driver if the need hardware info becomes available.
