Does the kernel need to keep a bit that says the device has been posted, don't do it again? Should removing/inserting a driver cause a repost? I was going to add bit in pci_dev that tracks the reset status so that it will persist across unloads. Do we have code to tell if hardware needs a reset without the tracking bit?
On the x86 DRM will run without fbdev loaded. So DRM needs to also be able to do the post and well as fbdev. Or we can just leave the old drivers alone and only implement this in a merged fbdev/drm driver? When current X loads it's going to reset the cards again, that may stomp anything the driver has set up. -- Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
