Thanks. Yeah fbdev is easier, but drm makes fedora happy :-)
Also makes things easier to support RandR in X nowadays using KMS APIs
etc... Besides I have evil plans to look at piping GL through the virtio
tube :-)
In fact, I've changed my focus and am now working on a virtio-vga (ie
new device). It still does VBE/VGA legacy (so the BIOS stuff works
etc...), but has BAR 0 as a virtio BAR on which I added a FB BAR.
I'll post more when I have more to show, I'm juggling with many
different things at the moment so it will take time.
Cheers,
Ben.
