With this detection code getting increasingly more sophisticated, wouldn't this be a good time to make it a video backend? (i.e. video/efi.c) Even if it won't be complete enough for gfxterm yet, it's much better than doing it in i386/efi/linux.c IMHO. The code to obtain framebuffer address from video backends is pretty simple. It's already in i386/linux.c and could be easily integrated into i386/efi/linux.c. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: "Your data belongs to us.
