Hi,
Thanks for replying.
By ' acceleration layers in user space ' are you referring to graphics
libraries like DirectFB,OpenGL..etc..?
Could you please shed some light into how they use the hardware
acceleration ? ( Like are they mmap'ing to
a graphics hardware (GMA-HD) specific video memory?)

Hi All,
I am in need to check whether the graphics driver for GMA-HD( i915)
provides hardware accelerated graphics functions.
No, the i915.ko does not provide an accelerated fbdev. It's a very low
priority project since we have very good acceleration layers in userspace,
and the emphasis for fbcon is to make sure that panics work. Even if we
accidentally set to the GPU.
