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.
