I think there were three driver implementing hardware cursors.=20 I tried to keep them working, they only needed minor touchups. If they had fallbacks to the software cursor I removed those and returned an error instead. Instead fbconsole will get the error and switch to software cursor. If HW cursors are going to work from user space they can't contain SW cursor fallbacks. The patch should move softcursor.c into the fbconsole subdirectory but I can't figure out how to do that with git yet. >=20 > The changes required are probably minor. >=20 > Tony >=20 >=20 >=20 >=20 --=20 Jon Smirl jonsmirl@gmail.com ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Discover Easy Linux Migration Strategies from IBM.
