UseFBDev is still a driver specific option (does the atimisc driver even have it? Its maintainer doesn't like fbdev too much...), so the upper layer doesn't care about it. It does have a 'framebuffer' mode now where it doesn't mess with PCI directly if all devices are claimed by drivers which support it, but AFAIK only the fbdev driver supports that right now. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper) \ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer CS student, Free Software enthusiast \ XFree86 and DRI project member
