I stopped using fbdev in January so may be I missed something.

Shadow is sometimes slower (e.g. on videos), hence I used to run with disabled
shadow.

Anyway, is there really a reason to use vesafb + fbdev instead of vesa? I
don't think so. The only reason I can think of is some obscure hardware
combination in which pure vesa driver doesn't work.

BTW did you get the patch for R128PutImage+DMA I posted with ICQ? It fixed the
last bug I was aware of.
