PATCH 1/1 x11 framebuffer driver
Hi,
Quoted 4 lines

btw: I'll have some x11-fb changes in the queue, so there will be at least one more patchkit. The patch need some more work though. I'll want to have the x11-fb patch ready for submit soon, so I can push it mainline for 2.6.13.
Uploaded to http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/uml/patches/2.6.12-rc5/
The uml-x11-fb patch depends on xen-vt-runtime
Both kernel-internal usage (fbcon) and userspace apps (map framebuffer via mmap() and draw there) access the same pages now, there is no copying between kernel & userspace fb pages any more. That should fix all the funny drawing effects older versions had. This version can also deal with multiple apps mapping the framebuffer memory, that should help people testing embedded stuff (using qt-embedded).
Keyboard issues (uml sometimes having a wrong idea of the modifier key state) are fixed.

However, as long as it does not touch anything if disabled, we can always ship it while marking it as BROKEN or EXPERIMENTAL.
Even if compiled in it shouldn't have any effect unless you enable framebuffer + fbcon via "x11=<width>x<height>" on the kernel command line. Switching between uml "stdio console" and fbcon + vt subsystem happens at runtime now (unlike the version which is @ sf.net where this happens at compile time).
The patch enables quite a few new drivers/subsystems:
drivers/char
vt subsystem, fbcon needs this.
drivers/input
for virtual keyboard & mouse, X11 input events are going this way.
drivers/video
framebuffer core & fbcon, obviously needed for a framebuffer driver ;)
That might have some unwanted side effects. It WorksForMe[tm] though. I'd consider it ready for mainline now.
Enjoy,
Gerd
