Do you care to tell us why this is dumb? The pitch depends on the video mode and the hardware requirements, that's why it's in struct fb_fix_screeninfo. > And while you're at it, please also add an ioctl to just simply set the display offset without > a virtual resolution and x/y offset values within the whole frame buffer... Why do you need this? What's different compared to setting a virtual resolution and a y offset (I assume you're talking about y only, as an x offset without a virtual resolution doesn't make much sense). Thanks!
