Now thats a very interesting idea!

I think we should make these 10 seconds configurable in any way....

Anyway, I won't apply your patch directly, because it's too big.

could you please create a small patch for your CF632 model? I'll apply
this one immediately...

For your 'big' patch with changing layouts, I first want to understand
it. I've seen that you added a 'clear' method to all drivers. I did not
do so in the past, because I think it's not necessary. All drivers read
from the 'generic' framebuffer, so it should be sufficient to clear the
framebuffer.


bye, Michael
