Just a minor nit, this entry is slightly misleading. The problem isn't with the fbdevhw layer but only with Option "UseFBDev" of the chipset specific drivers (because they need facilities of a framebuffer device which the generic ones can't provide); the fbdev driver works perfectly with those generic framebuffer devices. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
