I think the option would primarily be useful for testing. I've often needed to test modesetting code without fbdev getting in the way and the only way to currently do that is by recompiling with legacy fbdev disabled. The option would allow an fbdev-enabled kernel to be used but disable the fbdev code if desired. Thierry -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
