WIP: move Linux frame buffer support to base system

Open wulf7 opened this issue 10 months ago • 2 comments

On Linux, framebuffer code is not a part of drm and can be used with non-drm drivers. The aim is to move linux_fb.c vt_drmfb.c to linuxkpi_video module and import to base system after than. The changes clashes with ongoing drm-kmod 6.xx import doing by @dumbbell. That should be resolved in future. Still WIP

Would be good to also indicate why they should be in the base system

This isn't completely true anymore, now that SimpleDRM is a thing and distros have largely replaced the traditional framebuffer with the DRM backed one.
