I have spotted that the DaVinci driver uses the following ioctls: FBIO_SETPOS.  
I have also spotted that in some documentation they state that FBIO_SETPOSX/Y 
are part of the FBDEV standard (see 
http://focus.ti.com/lit/an/spraan0/spraan0.pdf)
 
Does anyone know if these IOCTLs are part of the FBDEV standard.  I would love 
to use them but am not sure about inventing my own custom IOCTLs for what is 
currently a standard Framebuffer device.  If these ioctls are part of the FBDev 
standard (how can I check) then i would obviously be interested in using them
 
I hope you can help me out.
Cheers
