mga (?). So if we want to do the right job then we should kill all fbdev code
from other remaining drivers and, as you said, export fbdev support from mga
in a nice way. Quick task.
And regarding the patch you sent, I think it doesn't matter the name of the os
module dir, given fbdevhw.so is sort of "portable" due the stubs version.
Maybe we could even move it one directory above. Yeah, the ugliness is
reigning here! :D
